York County, South Carolina Wills (1770-1812)
Micro-film #C1689
& C1695
Abstracted by Paulette Haynes, Anderson, IN, 1992
In some cases I could not find a probate date for these wills. They are probably arranged by case & file in the state archives which will include more information and the probate dates. The micro-films I have are not arranged that way, but rather by number and book. There are also a few estates, but not all, from Bk. B (1800-1811)
