Book excerpt: "This book contains 1764 entries. It lists the locality of every person. South Carolina has a remarkable series of records that makes it unique for the Colonial period. There are the "jury lists" compiled by the government to function as a list of names from which members of a jury could be assigned. They cover the period 1720-1783 and, according ot the act in 1731, were compiled from tax lists of the preceding year (which unfortunately no longer exist), listing every person who paid a tax of twenty shillings or more. Those who paid five pounds, or more were listed as grand jurors. The poorer class of people would not be listed. While not a complete list of the heads of household, they represent a sizeable proportion. They serve as a census during a period of growth, migration, and war."
