INTRODUCTION

Spelling used in the deed book was kept in this transcription. Most misspellings are underlined. Names are underlined where there is a difference in how they are usually spelled. Many deeds for property in the Town or Village of Spartanburg were recorded in Conveyance Book AA, 1848-1850. The name of the district and town was spelled both ways: "Spartanburgh," in some of the older records and "Spartanburg," throughout these records for 1848-1850. Though not repeated after every record in this transcript, this statement was at the end of each one in the Conveyance Books:

Registered, Examined and certified the [date, almost always filled in].
Original delivered to [mostly not filled in].

The index includes all names of people, places (other than Spartanburg), landmarks, rivers, creeks, branches, schools, churches, etc. The page numbers are those of the original book and the link from the index moves the main document to the top of the original page. In some instances the linked name will not be in the record at the top, but in the one immediately after.
