A question mark inside parentheses indicates the transcriber is not confident as to the correct reading or that the text was not legible. Square brackets [] indicate material that is explanatory or not found in the document. Curved brackets {} are as shown in the document. 3. For this presentation, little attempt has been made to layout the text identical to that shown in the documents. In particular, words per line and line breaks vary. Some attempt has been made to reproduce capitalization, punctuation, and spelling as read. However, this is not an exact and true reproduction. 4. In 1800, Sumter District South Carolina was formed in what had been Old Camden District by the merger of Clarendon, Claremont, and Salem counties. In 1855, Clarendon was taken from Sumter District and reconstituted with the same boundaries it had in 1785. In 1888, part of that area was taken from Clarendon County and merged into the newly created Florence County. The South Carolina Constitution of 1868 declared that "the Judicial Districts shall hereafter be designated as Counties." 5. It is left to the reader to verify the accuracy of this transcription prior to use.
