Notes:
(From the author): Marion District was formed in 1798, effective 1800, so the 1800 census was the first for Marion. In 1800 Marion covered a much larger area than today including all of the present day Marion County and Dillon County and about half of present day Florence County. This book contains a full transcript of the 1800 census but it also goes beyond that. I took each census entry and attempted to find other contemporary documents about that person. I searched for them on the previous census (1790) and the next census (1810) and if found, I noted where they were. I also checked the Marion District Deed Books for any entries in their name. I checked Equity and Probate records and other records from that era. This provides a nice research tool and a cross reference for each person listed on the 1800 census in Marion District. It is not definitive, but is meant to provide a good start in finding other records concerning those "first families" of Marion District. Features: - Full transcription from the original 1800 census records. - A map showing Marion District as of 1800 showing major waterways and landmarks. -Full name index Each household cross referenced (when possible ) to: - their location on the 1790 census, if found - their location on the 1810 census, if found - any deeds in their name (grantor or grantee) in Marion District through 1805 - any probate records - other public records mentioning them within that period Available from www.lulu.com and www.martygrant.com
