Ninety-Six District Context
Abbeville’s earliest records live in the wider Ninety-Six District world.
Abbeville County was formed in 1785 from the Ninety-Six District. Colonial and Revolutionary-era families may appear in district-level materials, later Greenwood/McCormick splits, and neighboring Anderson and Laurens records. Treat “Ninety-Six” as a research jurisdiction, not only a town name.
