where to look for birth, death, etc for someone in the 1700s?

Question

Have search deep and wide for documented verification on Richard Blizzard, Jr born in Darlington, SC 1731 to Richard Blizzard Sr.  He died in 1782 in Duplin County, NC.  Can find no source other than what is in ancestry trees, which also have no valid documentation. Where to look for such documents for the 1700s?

Thanks,

Thanks Frank.  I have that information but Wiki Tree needs documentation for confirmation.  Also, I have in my Blizzard family information that Richard Jr moved to Duplin Co NC with his family and died there.  So there is a discrepancy with where he is buried.  Some say he was buried in Cape Fear Cemetery . Thus, my need for factual documentation. Thank you so much for your assistance.
