Covering 137 Connecticut towns      and comprising 14,333 typed pages, the Barbour Collection of Connecticut      birth, marriage, and death records to about 1850 was the life work of Lucius      Barnes Barbour, Connecticut Examiner of Public Records from 1911 to 1934.      This present series, under the general editorship of Lorraine Cook White, is      a town-by-town transcription of Barbour's celebrated collection of vital      records, one of the last great manuscript collections to be published. Each      volume in the series contains the birth, marriage, and death records of one      or more Connecticut towns. Entries are listed in alphabetical order by town      (also in alphabetical order) and give, typically, name, date of event, names      of parents, names of children, names of both spouses, and sometimes such      items as age, occupation, and place of residence.

This is the second book in      which Mrs. Motes makes the genealogical records of South Carolina's      ante-bellum African-American population more accessible to researchers. On      the heels of her Free Blacks and Mulattos in the South Carolina 1850 Census,      she has now abstracted all references to African Americans that could be      found in the Deed Books for Laurens and Newberry counties, South Carolina,      between 1780 and 1827. Both of these counties in northwest central South      Carolina were formed from the Ninety-Six District in 1785, so some of the      record abstracts actually pre-date the existence of the counties by five      years, when deeds were first recorded in Charleston.
Based on Laurens County Deed Books A-L and Newberry County      Deed Books A-G,
Blacks Found in the Deeds of Laurens & Newberry Counties,      SC
covers Deeds of Gift, Deeds of Sale, Mortgages, and references to      manumission found in deeds, among twenty-six different kinds of deeds found      in the Deed Books. Each abstract gives the date the deed was filed; the      names and counties of residence of all parties to the transaction; the      amount of the transaction, if any; the names of the African Americans      mentioned in the sources, along with any identifying comments (age, height,      children, etc.); the names of witnesses and the justice of the peace; and      the date the deed was recorded. In some cases, the abstracts list the      surnames of free blacks, their dates of birth, or an occupation. In all,      more than several thousand African-American slaves and freed men and women      living in South Carolina between 1780 and 1827 have been rescued from the      obscurity of South Carolina's deed books, and each of them is easily found      in the index to Mrs. Motes' carefully transcribed volume.
