Mr. Joe Burns, Membership Director of the Tennessee Genealogical Society, recently started using this South Carolina Website. He has found it to be very helpful in his research on his personal family history. Some of the names/locales that he has found information on is (1)Jeremiah Burns of Union District, (2)Enock Pearson of Union District, (3)James A. Finch of Spartanburg County, and (4)Tabitha Townsend of Union District. The Wills featured there have been one of the records that have proven valuable to him.
