Laurens County, South Carolina Properties

Date: 1800 to 1890
Location: Laurens, South Carolina, United States

The purpose of this page is to identify landowners on various maps, and match them to census records. In this particular area, black families were generally not landowners on the maps in the post-Civil War era; I am trying to identify the order in which the census-takers visited homes, and therefore place non-landowning families (both white and black) on the map. I started this project in the course of research for Wikitree Challenge guest Archie Griffin, and identifying the origins of Samuel Griffin (likely father James, or possibly Jackson)

Residences

• In the 1900 census, Mose Griffin was recorded by Jesse Hill and Eli Hill, so his home may have been located near where they were marked on the 1883 map (by Spring Grove Post Office), see first attached image on this page.
