Description:

The 2nd South Carolina Regiment Paybook, 1775, is a bound volume that was kept for the 2nd South Carolina Regiment. The paybook primarily consists of receipts that recorded the wages paid to the regiment’s officers. The paybook was kept by the regiment’s paymaster, Thomas Evance, from July to October of 1775, and most of the receipts were signed by the officer receiving his pay. Consequently, the paybook contains the signatures and pay information of many officers who served in the 2nd S.C. Regiment, including William Moultrie, Francis Marion, Isaac Motte, Peter Horry, Thomas Moultrie, and Charles Motte. A page towards the end of the book also contains genealogical information about the descendants of Thomas Evance.
