SOLDIERS BOARD OF RELIEF, DARLINGTON DISTRICT
EDITOR’S NOTE- The Soldiers Board of Relief was created by the S.C. General Assembly in December, 1861. This board was authorized to levy an annual tax on each tax district and to distribute the money to families of soldiers who had volunteered for S.C. or Confederate service. General state records exist in the records of the Comptroller General of S.C. concerning this board, but no state records concerning individual disbursements have been located. Horace F. Rudisill, Darlington County Historian, some years ago located the records of the Darlington Soldiers Board of Relief in private hands. This is the sixteenth report in our series.
