One Response to South Carolina Land Grants, 1674 to 1683

  1. Your posts have been most informative to me. The early history of the Carolina settlement intrigues me as a Barbadian of this time period now living in Charleston, SC. As Barbados’ Honorary Consul to SC and the Founder/CEO of the Barbados and the Carolina Legacy Foundation, when I see names and places in Carolina that still exist in Barbados today, I’m reminded that history lives on in the present. It’s up to us to understand that history and reconcile the past to the present whenever we can. Thank you!
