Due to South Carolina not officially keeping vital records until 1911, makes researching in old newspapers extremely important. Many times these may be the only remaining record of its type. These notices are from all over South Carolina, but particularly from the counties of Edgefield, Kershaw, Lexington, Newberry, Orangeburg and Richland.
