The 4,000 immigrants listed in this book were Protestant refugees from Europe who came to South Carolina in search of new lands and religious freedom. Arranged chronologically, and taken verbatim from the original Council Journals, 1763-1773, the information given in the certificates and petitions for lands under the Bounty Act includes the date and the location and acres of land granted. In some cases the immigrants are listed with their age, country of origin, and name of the vessel on which they arrived.

By: Janie Revill, Pub. 1941, reprinted 2021, 387 pages, soft cover, ISBN #978-1-63914-017-6.This is a copy of the original index book showing Revolutionary War claims filed in South Carolina between August 20, 1783 and August 31, 1786. The approximate 11,000 Claimants are listed in alphabetically order, with multiple references to the returns showing the page number of the entry book.

The author has also included a section on officers in the hospital and men of the Frigate South Carolina to whom certificates had been awarded.
