'''County Land Records'''<br>Deeds were recorded in the counties by the clerk of the court after 1785. Most of the pre-1800 files are very incomplete. Between 1785 and 1868, land transfers were kept according to a number of old and new districts, later called counties. For further information on the history and organization of districts, see James M. Black, ''The Counties and Districts of South Carolina'', Genealogical Journal, Volume 5, Number 3. | '''County Land Records'''<br>Deeds were recorded in the counties by the clerk of the court after 1785.
