ROYAL GRANTS, PLATS and SURVEYS
The South Carolina Department of
Archives and History in Columbia, SC holds copies of Colonial / Royal land grants
1675-1788 in printed version (63 volumes) and on microfilm (27 reels). This record
series forms part of the records of Recorded Instruments of the Secretary of State
and consists of copies of earlier recordings of land grants.
Most entries include the
name of the grantee; the number of acres granted; the county in which the grant was
located; the boundaries, with the names of surrounding landholders; the quitrent
requirements; the conditions of the grant; the certification date of the plat; and
the date of the grant. Township grants include the name of the township and the number
of the town lot, if any. Town lot grants include town lot numbers. Bounty grants are
so annotated.
CONVEYANCES 1719-1776
The South Carolina Department of
Archives and History in Columbia, SC holds copies of conveyance records held by
the office of the Public Register, an office separated from the Secretary of State in 1719
at the time of the revolt against the Lords Proprietors. This series is commonly referred
to as the "Charleston Deeds", and is continued in the Conveyance Books series, 1776-1785.
Note that as early as 1698, a deed was not valid until it was proved by oath of two
witnesses and recorded.
