    1. Re: [SC] Land Memorial ?
    2. Ray Timmons

    3. Hi Elaine, (Folks, please correct any errors I make.) Early on in SC, obtaining a deed to land was a multiple step process. One of the steps was called a Memorial, a document which traced the past owners of the land and how you were obtaining the land, a little like a title search of today. Over time, it was abbreviated with all the great history of the land being dropped. And then, over time, the term came to mean the recording of the deed.

    3. Ray, The Land Memorials were designed for the better collection of His Majesty's Quit Rents. They begin in 1733 and continue until the Revolution.

    3. Ah yes, another memory comes back. After King George made South Carolina a Royal Colony, he wanted to know what he had.
