South Carolina Counties

Suggest a resource/link or submit an article for inclusion

As I am able I will add information and links specific to each county of South Carolina. The ultimate goal for these pages is fairly ambitious. It includes: brief summary of county history, highlight of historic events that took place in this county, points of interest in the county, genweb site for the county, census links, vital record links, tax transcriptions, cemetery links, etc. for each county, list of towns for each county. Further down the road I wouldn’t mind giving a one – two sentence footnote for each town, links to town websites. You will also find I’m starting to include some relevant news feeds on the county pages, these can give you an idea of “what’s going on” in the county these days.

You will find the listing of the counties to the right in the sidebar just beneath the “South Carolina Counties” entry.

There are currently a total of 46 counties in South Carolina.

swevans on “Feagins”

Looking to confirm the full name of (1823-1899)Richardson Monroe Feagin’s wife.
Some have her listed as Leah Elizabeth Matthews (1823-1885), some as Mathis. She was a country doctor. Their son, William Richardson’s death certificate lists her as Bitsie Mathis, but I cannot confirm.
Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.
