Columbus County
Extracted from the Dillon County Marriage Register Books 1 & 2

Note: The handwriting in the marriage register was difficult to read at times, and I cannot guarantee the accuracy of all names. In an effort to double check the correctness of certain names, I researched other information about these individuals. I am providing additional information that I found here, as it may be of use to researchers. This information is from the US censuses, as well as NC and SC death certificates.
