History

Not to be confused with the Granville County that existed 1785-1791.

In 1708 one of the original three counties, Carteret County, was renamed Granville (1708-1768) County.[1] See the south Savannah River side of the 1760 South Carolina map.

This early Granville County was never surveyed or properly laid out. Its boundaries were ambiguous. Its county government never became functional. Most records were kept at the parish level; none were kept at the county level. There was no county seat. There were no political connotations to the county's existence. In this case the term "county" had no meaning other than to describe an approximate geographical area. It was a county in name only.[1]

Granville (1708-1768) County was abolished in 1768.

For documents of people who lived in this area at this time, look in parish records, or for papers filed in Charleston, South Carolina.
