South Carolina
In the record
Royce’s schedule records 2 cessions that lie at least partly in South Carolina, from 1790 to 1816, under 2 treaties, agreements and acts. The peoples named most often are Muscogee (Creek) and Cherokee.
The atlas records 1 broken treaty promise here, including Catawba: South Carolina's 1840 Nation Ford treaty, never approved by the United States.
Written from the records linked here; open any of them for its sources.
Everything here is linked at state level only. The atlas does not look up addresses or parcels, and a cession touching a state does not tell you whose land a particular place is.
