Fairfield County South Carolina History by Ederington

To Index

A manuscript history published in the News and Herald, a newspaper of Winnsboro, S.C. in installments, on the dates as indicated with each installment herein.

The original newspapers file containing this history may be found in the South Carolina Library, Columbia, SC. At this time they are very fragile, and some parts of the papers are missing. So far as I know, the complete file does not exist elsewhere, and soon these will be too old to handle. If by typing and binding these records I have preserved for posterity data that might otherwise be lost to them, then I am amply rewarded.

This copy of The History of Fairfield County, South Carolina by Ederington was retyped for descendants of the early settlers of Fairfield County by Victoria A. Pickrell, 312 Docurt Hills, Pittsboro, NC in October, 1998, to reduce the number of pages and make the text easier to read. Several of her ancestors came from this area, and Ederington's articles have been of great value in doing her research. She hopes that this newer and more legible copy will be of help to others seeking information on their forebears.
