Lou: It sure was nice seeing your reply to Richard today. You asked when Horry County, SC. records are first available. It became a county in 1801. Nyla ======= What is the earliest known Horry Co SC record? Is it possible that there is some sort of Cumberland Co land record that could indicate where Cornelius Creed was from? It is interesting to note that there was a Cornelius Creed in early NY records. Lou Randall **************Psssst...Have you heard the news?
