This is the diary, sermon book, and letters of newly ordained Anglican minister named Charles Woodmason who traveled throughout the back country settlements of South Carolina for six years starting in 1766. He centered his travels around Camden, SC and traveled along the upper Wateree and Catawba rivers, to the settlements on Lynches River, and as far as the Cherokee towns beyond the Saluda River. He describes the people and the life of the times and names individuals, churches, and places that he visited.

"The Genealogy of the Pendarvis-Bedon Families of South Carolina, 1670-1900." James Barnwell Heyward, Foote & Davis Co, Atlanta, 1905. The book I have is a copy made for my grandmother of the book JB Heyward compiled in 1905, and I have no way of knowing if what in it is true, although there are transcripts of wills and other documents that the author recorded.

"North and South Carolina Marriage Records From the Earliest Colonial Days to the Civil War." William Montgomery Clemens. Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc 1975. Some give date, some only names and county. Not complete record, some records were destroyed or lost. Marriage records prior to the 1900's are scarce for North (or South) Carolina. Until then, marriage licenses or bonds were not necessarily required by law, and many families opted to simply have banns read in order to meet the public notice requirement. Historians have generally relied on surviving church, court and private records (including submissions to publications like genealogical magazines) when compiling their resource materials, but they are far from inclusive. Family researchers should not be discouraged, therefore, by an inability to locate a surviving record. DN1, SE
