Welcome to Marlboro County, SC DEATH RECORDS

EARLY DEATH "RECORDS" (   - 1915)

Death records (modern death certificates) were not required, or kept, at the State level until about 1915. Prior to 1915, researchers must rely on a variety of sources to determine dates of death for their ancestors. These include family Bibles, Wills and other probate records, death notices / obituaries in newspapers, diaries / journals, church records, tombstones, etc.
