UNION COUNTY - SOUTH CAROLINA
COURT RECORDS 1777-1819
1902786
UNION COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA Probate Court Records, Box #1, Pkgs. 1-67
NOTE : Evidently, Union County, South Carolina had a will book which : . . was earlier than their earliest present one that was lost. Many of the early wills found in the probate packets mention that the book they were recorded in is missing and the will in the packet 'should not be removed due to it being the only instrument. Be- cause of this peculiarity we have chosen to abstract the first probate file box of this county which contains packets Nos. 1 through 67.
