Hello Listers I have found the following reference at Ancestry.com (free subscriptions are great!) and wonder whether I may pose a couple of questions to the folk who will know much better than me about Colleton County SC. The Thomas Guild mentioned below I believe came from the parish of Glamis in Angus, Scotland. He was shipped out to South Carolina in 1716 after the Jacobite insurrections of 1715. He was either an uncle or cousin of my Kyd ancestors, also from the parish of Glamis. Question 1: Where might I get a copy of the original inventory mentioned below? Question 2: What other sources could be recommended that I should look at? I am really interested in finding out whether he had family, where they were etc etc, but my knowledge of research in this period in America is limited and I would welcome any advice. >The South Carolina Magazine of Ancestral Research >SCMAR, Volume VIII >Number 2, Spring, 1980 >Abstracts of Colonial Inventory Book I-I (Continued from Vol. 6, p.178) > >SCMAR, Vol. VIII, Spring 1980, No. 2, p.104 >Pp. 202-203: An Appraisement of all the Goods& Slaves belonging to the >Estate of Thomas Guild Deceas'd September ye 26th 1737.
