Opis

It was the aim of Capt. Thomas, in writing this history of Marlboro County, South Carolina, to make it so full in the matters of tradition and genealogy as to leave no room for complaint, but in spite of his zeal, industrious inquiry and research, he was unable to procure from some families, facts and data, whilst some others were unable to give information sought, having preserved no family records, and having no traditions stored up in memory. The Rev. J. A. W. Thomas endeavored to write this piece of local history of a people loyal to the State, valorous in war, law abiding, industrious and thrifty in time of peace. The citizens of Marlboro should feel deeply indebted for the history of the people who have ever been true to themselves and their State in time of war, and who, in peace, by quiet industry and exemplary thrift have made Marlboro the garden spot of the State.
