About Charleston, Charleston County, South Carolina Black Deaths 1871-89

Contained here is an incomplete file of Black Death records of Charleston, SC. The dates range from 1871 to 1889. This file contains the following fields: last name, first name, date of death. Some of these names had something written in the margin, which I have added under side notes. There were only a few side notes; they consisted of place names or cause of death. You will find there are many infant/child deaths included in this file, only one parent name if any was provided. These files will allow the researcher to find the date of death and maybe a location or cause of death. The fields of information include, last name, given name, parent name, date of death.
