Charleston District, South Carolina, Journal Of The Court Of Ordinary, 1812-1830

Plot

"In 1980 or 1981 this journal of the court of ordinary was discovered in the Office of the Probate Judge in Charleston by Mrs. Moore, who . . . recognized the importance of this record because of the information about wills and estates and especially the list of marriage licenses included in this volume [p. 188-189]. With few exceptions, the original loose wills and estates papers for Charleston District do not survive from this period"—Introd., p. iii.
