T quote Victoria Proctor on the site mentioned below : "From the establishment of a colony on the Ashley River in 1671 until roughly 1710, South Carolina was part of "Carolina" which embraced both modern North and South Carolina. South Carolina was recognized as a royal colony in 1723. In 1682-83, the first three counties were established by the Lords Proprietors for the purposes of local government, administration of justice, granting of land, and the election of representatives to the legislative assembly: Berkeley, Colleton, and Craven, with a fourth, Granville, established somewhat later. All were discontinued in 1769 and the present Berkeley County is NOT the original. These old county names are found on early documents and can cause confusion when searching for records. Of primary importance to the researcher is the fact that records pre-dating 1785 were all filed in Charleston, irrespective of the residence in these old "royal" counties and such early documents will be found at the South Carolina Department of Archives and History in Columbia, South Carolina."
