Synopsis "index to the 1800 census of south carolina (in English)"
This index to the 1800 census of South Carolina is the first to overcome the impediments to research resulting from the maze of district, parish, and county sub-divisions in early South Carolina; and it is the only complete index to the extant 1800 census of the State (remembering that the entire 1800 census of Richland District is missing). Compiled by a noted authority on South Carolina genealogy, the author of numerous publications and editor of "The South Carolina Magazine of Ancestral Research," it is virtually definitive, the most accurate and exhaustive listing of early South Carolina residents available in a single volume, bearing reference to some 30,000 heads of households. With only a few exceptions, district designations are used for locations, and a map, drawn expressly for this publication, enables the researcher to pinpoint district boundaries, as well as the boundaries of Orange, Lexington, and Barnwell counties in Orangeburgh District.
