Okay, now I am wondering about some of the info I have. I have documents with Graniteville, SC ( near Aiken) and others with Granville, SC. Was there ever a Granville, SC ?

It looks like Carteret, SC became Granville County, SC, then Granville became part of Beaufort District, then Beaufort District split into four counties, one of which was Granville County, then all four counties became part of Beaufort County. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Hills/3837/sc_countyhistories.html "OLD GRANVILLE COUNTY (1683 - 1769) Created: 1683, discontinued 1769 One of the original "counties" created by the Crown for administrative purposes, Granville extended from the Combahee River in the north to the Savannah River in the south. See map above (1710) for modern counties represented in this area. NOTE: All records for this area were filed in Charleston. The area known as Granville County became Beaufort District in 1769. " http://www.martygrant.com/gen/refs/sccounty.htm Carteret*1685 Proprietary County. Name changed to Granville 1708. Granville*1708 Name changed from Carteret. Abolished 1769. Granville*1785 County of Beaufort District. Abolished 1798. Jp Burt wrote: > Okay, now I am wondering about some of the info I have.

According to "Seventh Edition of the Handy Book for Genealogists", there was a SC district called 'Carteret District' in 1683 and the "Name Changed to Granville 1700". No date of discontinuance given for either Carteret or Granville. > Okay, now I am wondering about some of the info I have.
