Death Notices in the South-Carolina Gazette 1732-1775: And Death Notices in the South Carolina Gazette, 1766-1774 - Paperback

While the contents of the death notices in this work vary, each one, nonetheless, furnishes the individual's name, place of death (which was by no means limited to Charleston), date of death, and date of the newspaper. In many instances, however, the notices tell us of the decedent's spouse, children or other family members, something of the individual's livelihood and character, the cause of death, and other interesting details. In all, the two indexes refer to 1,500 persons and places figuring in the colonial history of South Carolina.
