1925 Horry County SC Land Affidavit Draft – Cannon Hardwick Joiner Swamp # 1131

Original 1925 typed land-affidavit draft concerning approximately 150 acres in Bayboro Township, Horry County, South Carolina. The document discusses a property transfer involving Isaac Cannon, John M. Cannon and J. M. Hardwick, with references to Joiner Swamp, boundary lines, timber and water privileges, tax payments and land retained for use with a water mill. The affidavit was prepared for M. A. Tyler, who was intended to provide firsthand testimony regarding the original land transaction and the Cannon family’s continued possession and use of the disputed swamp property. This example appears to be an unfinished working draft or carbon copy. The state, county, date, age, signature and notarial sections were left blank. Faint handwritten pencil corrections and editorial notes remain visible within the text. A desirable piece of early 20th-century South Carolina legal and land-history ephemera with potential interest to collectors and researchers of: * Horry County history * Cannon and Hardwick family genealogy * Historic land boundaries and property disputes * Joiner Swamp and Bayboro Township * Water-mill, timber and land-use history Condition: Fair antique condition with substantial age toning, multiple original folds, fold separation, edge wear, staining, pencil annotations and several tears, including a longer tear along the right side. The document remains largely readable. Please examine all photographs carefully, as they are part of the description. Sold as an original historical collectible and research document. It is unsigned and was not formally executed or notarized.
