Hi Yvette...thank you for your quick response... I'm looking for the Council Minutes which normally contain the land warrants etc...Pope in his history referes to them as the *Journal of the Council etc...I'm assuming that since this is the colonial period for SC that "His Majesty's Council Journals" would be the official name for them... I'd like the the minutes for the time period of January 1, 1766 through December 31, 1766... My address is: Charlotte Coats-Siercks 12341 Lampson Ave Garden Grove, CA 92840 Thanking you in advance for all your help...

This message is in reply to your recent inquiry concerning "Council Minutes." I believe that you are requesting copies of the "His Majesty's Council Journals." This department holds Council Journals from 1721-1774. The Council Journals are arranged chronologically by date. If you are interested in receiving copies of the Council Journals please advise me of the specific date(s) that you would like copies of and I will generate an invoice detailing the cost to receive copies. Please remember to include your name and mailing address on all correspondence to the SC State Archives. If I can be of further assistance please feel free to contact me. Best wishes on your research project. Sincerely, Yvette M.
