 '''State Land Records'''<br>After South Carolina became a state, unclaimed land was granted by the state. Microfilms of land grants recorded by the Surveyor General, 1784 to 1882, are at the Family History Library (Family History Library film 022531-580; the index is on film 022531). The original records are at the Secretary of State's Office at Columbia. These are partially indexed in Ronald Vern Jackson, ''Index to South Carolina Land Grants, 1784-1800'' (Bountiful, Utah: Accelerated Indexing Systems, Inc., 1977; Family History Library book 975.7 R22j).
