Williamsburg County South Carolina Voter Registration Book, 1882-1892

The loss of the 1890 census and the lack of birth and death records create a gaping hole in the information about people who lived at the end of the nineteenth century. For researchers interested in those who lived in Williamsburg County, South Carolina, Voter Registration books provide a valuable alternative source of information. This book is a transcription of voter registration records for the entirety of Williamsburg County from May 1882 to July of 1892. Information includes voter name, registration date, age, occupation, and residence. Entries show those who died, moved away, or had their voting privileged revoked. For those who moved, the new location is usually given. The full-name index combines like-sounding names and includes many cross-references in order to accommodate spelling variations.
