It lies in the Northeasern portion of the state along the Savannah River just across from Anderson and Abbeville Counties, South Carolina. The first settlers started arriving in the area from Virgina and the Carolinas and continued on as land grants were being issued from service in the Revolutionary War. The Inferior Court tried any civil case except those involving title to land. The court had jurisdiction over county business matters, such as care for the poor, building and maintaining the courthouse, jails, roads bridges and ferries, issuing liquor licenses, nominating justices of the peace, performing naturalizations, appointing guardians, authorizing apprenticeships & indentures, maintaining a register of wills and administering county funds. The Clerk of the Inferior Court kept minutes of the foregoing proceedings--every one of which places individuals in Elbert County at a particular point in time Full Product DetailsAuthor: Michael a PortsPublisher: Southern Historical Press Imprint: Southern Historical Press Dimensions: Width: 15.20cm , Height: 1.90cm , Length: 22.90cm Weight: 0.476kg ISBN: 9780893089993ISBN 10: 0893089990 Pages: 324 Publication Date: 15 January 2020 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In stock We have confirmation that this item is in stock with the supplier.
