Since South Carolina did not officially keep vital records until 1911, makes researching through newspapers extremely important in this state. Many time this is the only mentioning of this type on information. These notices of marriage and deaths are taken from the first newspaper in Upper South Carolina. They cover the entire state of S.C. as well as from counties in Georgia and North Carolina. They contain a wealth of genealogical information in that they often give the parents of the bride, as well as former place of residence of those whose obituaries appear herein. Pendleton District was a major point of migration from S.C. into Georgia and other states.
