Special Notes:

1. Deed Book P2 was left off the old deeds index books; but the original

Deed Book P2 has its own index.

2. Some deeds in the index are listed incorrectly as being in Deed Book S

when they are actually located in Deed Book BB.

3. SC Archives lists a Deed Book TD (recordings 1840-1844), but this is

actually book BB.

4. General index to old deeds is inaccurate and incomplete, but is all that is

available at this time.

Note: The Deed Book listing and Special Notes were compiled by Glenda Bundrick.
