Spartanburg County is an important county for South Carolina researchers due to the wagon road heading out of Columbia going West. These Deed Abstracts come from books AA-BB. Deeds are one of favorite research tools of the genealogists due to the wide variety of family connections found within them. Not only will the reader find the deed transaction itself, but often times such things as: marriages, relinquishments of dower, divisions of family farms among heirs, remarriages of widows are just a few of the matters you can anticipate finding within records of deeds. Spartanburg County is surrounded by the present day counties of Cherokee, Greenville, Laurens, and Union Counties, S.C. and to the North by Cleveland, Polk and Rutherford Counties, N.C. Spartanburg County was a very important migration path within S.C due to the wagon road heading north out of Columbia heading directely into Spartanburg County.
