NOTES
Early on, South Carolina was subdivided in three ways: into parishes, by the Anglican Church; into Judicial Districts, which served as courts; and into counties, which served non-judicial civil functions. During that period, a geographic location might be described in terms of any one or two or all three of these subdivisions. Parishes and Districts were ultimately abolished. Prior to the establishment of county courts in 1785, all deeds were recorded in the Charleston Co. Court House.
