Accounts Audited of Claims growing out of the Revolutionary War.

The South Carolina State Archives has recently added new digital content to a major collection in their online index. Accounts audited of claims growing out of the Revolution in South Carolina, 1775-1856 (S 108092) was an index only collection but the digital images are now available in the online index.  The series is organized by last name, first name and includes documents presented by Americans who served in the Revolutionary War to support their pension claims. See the record description link above for specific details.

The documents are also abstracted in the classic Roster of South Carolina Patriots in the American Revolution by Bobby Gilmer Ross.  However, the original documents contain genealogical information not abstracted in Dr. Moss’s book because the abstracts were intended as an accounting of South Carolina’s Revolutionary soldiers, not a genealogical tool.  This leaves lots genealogical material to be uncovered in the original documents!
