By an act of legislation in 1706 the Church of England became the official church of South Carolina. This is a list of the twenty-five established Colonial South Carolina Church of England Parish's which kept christenings, marriages, burials and other church records. Maybe in time we can locate where they were physically located, and where these records are located?
