Land Grant Books if you can find them. I found one for 1832 in GA that is chuck full of thousands of names usually alphabetical, and sometimes listed if they received it for serving in the American Revolution. But good books to get a hold of sometimes through your local library. So many into genealogy now I know ours has a second floor dedicated to genealist. And computers to use. There is also a great resource of using your inner library loan dept at your local library for books and materials, and especially those out of print. It's usually a free service. I'm looking for Old Pendleton District, SC for Briskey/Brisky family. In 1790 Census the retype was mispelled as BRISHEY I don't know how to go about changing that.

Sandel, Don't worry about the way Briskey is spelled in the 1790 census. No one can change that. Your Briskeys are in Abbevile and Edgefield Counties of S. C., which area was in the Ninety Six District, not the Old Pendleton District. Remember the abstract of the 1789 John Balthaser Mark will I sent you where his daughter Elizabeth was wife of Nicholas Brisky, will filed in Abbeville Co., SC? You need the records from these two counties, not the OPD records unless some of the children later went to OPD - but the name does not show up in the indexes of Pickens or Anderson Counties of SC. I would write the court houses of these two counties. The deeds of Abbeville burned, but the probate records did not. Edgefield is intact. I have seen your names in the early census from these two counties and forwarded them on to you. I believe your best bet would be to check out Abbeville and Edgefield and I think you will find these to be your people.. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, March 18, 2004 10:23 AM Subject: Re: [SC-OPD] Land Grant and Land Lotteries > Land Grant Books if you can find them.
