 Land warrants were presented to the surveyor general and recorded by the secretary of state. They are often the most complete guide to early land settlement. Proprietary grants are listed in A.S. Salley, Jr., ''Warrants for Lands in South Carolina ''1672-1711, 1910-15, Reprint (Columbia, South Carolina: South Carolina Department of Archives and History, 1973; Family History Library book [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&titleno=197792&disp=Warrants+for+lands+in+South+Carolina%2C+%20%20&columns=*,0,0 975.7 R2s]; film [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&titleno=197796&disp=Warrants+for+land+in+South+Carolina+%5B1%20%20&columns=*,0,0 845162 items 3-4 1672-1692], and film [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&titleno=197796&disp=Warrants+for+land+in+South+Carolina+%5B1%20%20&columns=*,0,0 845163 1692-1711]). <br>
-'''Royal Period'''<br>From 1719 to 1775, when South Carolina was a royal colony, grants were recorded by the secretary of the province and deeds were recorded separately by the public register. After land offices suspended much of their business in the 1720s, Sir George Carteret bought out most of the proprietor's lands in 1729. The portion originally held by Sir George, and later held by the Earl of Granville, remained under the proprietary system until the Revolution. A discussion of the land system, land frauds, and quitrents is in William Roy Smith, ''South Carolina as a Royal Province'', 1719-1776 (New York, NY: Macmillan, 1903; Family History Library film [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&titleno=197282&disp=South+Carolina+as+a+royal+province%2C+17%20%20&columns=*,0,0 1320960 item 4]). Also see the “Taxation” section of this outline for further information on quitrents.

 '''North Carolina Records'''. In 1729 South Carolina was officially separated from North Carolina, although boundaries between the states remained unstable, and North Carolina granted some land to South Carolina. The North Carolina counties of Anson, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Rutherford, and Tyron have records that pertain to South Carolina residents. An example of a printed source for these records is Brent H. Holcomb, ''North Carolina Land Grants in South Carolina'', Two Volumes. (Clinton, South Carolina: B. Holcomb, 1975, 1976; Family History Library book [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&titleno=291245&disp=North+Carolina+land+grants+in+South+Caro%20%20&columns=*,0,0 975 R28n]. Volumes. 1-2 are for years 1749-1773 for Anson, Mecklenburg, and Tyron counties). <br>
