Margie, thanks for showing us this great old document. I hope someone can explain it with certainty by I think one avenue of research could be that the doc addresses a group of "Regulators". Was that a position appointed by the King...or one they gave themselves for purpose of self-government? Also, there is the sections that states..."....did thereupon desist from the illegal practices...peace & tranquility...restored...in the back settlements of our said province."..... Looks like it was something that took place in outback of SC, and not overseas. Looking forward to other explanations, Janice
