I have a copy of a "Regulator Pardon" by King George the Third in 1771 giving his pardon to various SC people for committing acts of violence before the sixth day of August 1768. Can anyone tell me about the circumstances surrounding this pardon? Was this an uprising that happened in SC or is this a pardon of acts committed in Britain, France or Ireland before these people came to America? The website to read this pardon is: http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/sc/regulatr.txt

I have found a couple of sites that help explain this "uprising". They are: http://www.ls.net/~newriver/va/swift/swiftregulators.html http://members.tripod.com/~jack0204/gen/teague/joshua_teague.html ----- Original Message ----- From: "Margie Powell" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, March 20, 2004 7:20 AM Subject: [SC-OPD] Regulator Pardon of 1771 > I have a copy of a "Regulator Pardon" by King George the Third in 1771 giving his pardon to various SC people for committing acts of violence before the sixth day of August 1768.
