Prior to the 1769 organization of seven judicial districts, Pendleton did
not exist.
From 1769 until 1789, the area known as Pendleton District lay
within the unorganized Indian lands
(though some maps show a portion was within the
northern boundaries of Ninety-Six District).
This Indian Land area had been taken from the Cherokee during the American
Revolution.
In 1786, Greenville County was carved from
this area, and
in 1789 Pendleton County was established.

I just received the new "Old Pendleton Database" CD which
list over 300,000
souls that lived in the old Pendleton of South Carolina or
descended from
people that did. The people on the SELLERS list have been
so helpful in my
search for lost relatives that I would like to try to return
the favor by
doing look ups on this CD as well marriages from the Old
96th Dist/Abbeville
County, SC (1774-1890). I have already checked this list of
marriages and
did not find a Sellers listed, however, I'm sure that there
are some maternal
surnames listed that can be of some value.
The following is the format used on the "Old Pendleton
Database". Note the
reference numbers by each name. This number, along with the
name, will help
in my search.

sweetheart. Carole in South Carolina
Please Understand my questions =
Is there a way you can post the index on
SELLERS/SELLARS/SOLARS, etc with first
names?
OR are they ALL set up where if you go to the one name it
lists the Complete
chart/Reference numbers on that family?
Appreciate you sharing with us and taking the time to do so.

It seems that I am related to just about everyone that
settled in (or just passed through) the Old 96th District of South Carolina,
therefore, I have been doing research in the area for many years and
have a
huge dBASE. I would be happy to help anyone that may have a question
about
the area or relatives that may have been in the area. Regards,
