The
information extracted from the SC Death Indexes was the
name's of the deceased, death certificate # taken from
the SC Death Index, date of death, age at time of death,
Father's name, Mother's name's, if not listed on the
death certificate and I knew the parents name it has been
added, place of burial, spouse if listed or known, name
of the informant, and misc. remarks that I may have noted
in my records . Many of the records are from my family
lines. Many of the names I decided to extract from the
roll I was working on, so as to have all the deaths from
that particular county. The majority of the Ballard's and
Bolden names were taken from Richland County. The Hall's
and Harper's are from Anderson County, Henry's &
House's are from Richland, Clarendon and Sumter Counties.
The name Yough is from Richland County.
Some
entries may have nothing more than name, date of death
and death certificate #. These were not oversights. After
extracting a list of names that I am interested in, from
the index, I then proceed to the certificates that are
top priority and then work the list.
Many
of the surnames are: Canty, Henry,
House, Johnson, Oliver, Ragin, and Vaughn
