A Compilation of the Original Lists of Protestant Immigrants to South Carolina, 1763-1773
The 4,000 immigrants listed in this volume were Protestant refugees from Europe who came to South Carolina on the encouragement of an act passed by the General Assembly of the Colony on July 25, 1761, called the Bounty Act.

This book is indispensable in attempting to locate an ancestor's place of settlement in South Carolina.
