Chester County Images
Samuel Knox and Amanda Wylie Gill Knox
contributed by Michael McGarityThis page is an experiment; I'd like to include historic photos, family photos, etc. here that pertain to Chester County's history. The only catch is that the photos must be scanned, jpeg images with maximum compression. If the photos are of people, please indentify them. If they are of places or things, tell me what you know. I will include unknown images if you are sure they pertain to Chester County. Your contributions are necessary for this page to work. We'll see what happens.

About the South Carolina USGenWeb Project
In March and April, 1996, a group of genealogists organized the Kentucky Comprehensive Genealogy Database. The idea was to provide a single entry point for all counties in Kentucky, where collected databases would be stored. In addition, the databases would be indexed and cross-linked, so that even if an individual were found in more than one county, they could be located in the index.At the same time, volunteers were found who were willing to coordinate the collection of databases and generally oversee the contents of the web page. The SCGenWeb Project is an extension of the KyGenWeb Project. The person responsible for this county is *************** . If you would like to be involved with the SCGenWeb Project contact Victoria Proctor State Coordinator, for South Carolina.

History of Chester County...more to be added
Tryon County was formed from Mecklenburg County in 1768 and abolished in 1779 to form Rutherford and Lincoln counties in North Carolina. At its formation and until the border survey of 1772, Tryon County included all or portions of the South Carolina counties of York, Chester, Union, Spartanburg and Cherokee counties. Your ancestors may be found in records for any of these counties, including the North Carolina counties of Lincoln, Rutherford and Mecklenburg and their neighbors.©1998-2001 by Victoria Proctor, on behalf of all contributors to these pages.
