After the records of the Colleton County Courthouse were destroyed during the Civil War, many documents of land transactions before the war were re-recorded and eventually put on f ile. This work summarizes the information in those documents. The Direct Index to Deeds, 1865–1974, Colleton County, South Carolina contains information valuable to the genealogist and historian studying pre-Civil War South Carolina. Each entry provides the name of the grantor, name of the grantee, date the instrument was recorded, book and page number where the instrument is recorded, kind of instrument, and description of property. The abstracts are arranged alphabetically by grantor and are followed by a glossary and a grantee index. Carroll Ainsworth McElligott and Ronald J.
