1903 Horry County SC Recorded Deed - Hardwick to Mishoe - 300 Acres # 1133

Original 1903 recorded South Carolina real-estate deed, transferring the property interest and dower claim of Mary E. Hardwick of Horry County to William F. Mishoe, also of Horry County, for the stated consideration of five dollars. The handwritten property description concerns approximately 300 acres in the Gallivants Ferry and Bayboro Township area of Horry County. The land is described as the former residence or property of Isaac Cannon, deceased, and the deed conveys Mary Hardwick’s right, title, interest, estate and claim of dower in the tract. The boundary description references several neighboring Horry County families and landowners, including the Cannon, McDaniel, Skipper, LeGrand, Johnson, Phipps and Martin families, giving the document strong genealogical and local-history interest. County endorsements on the reverse show that the deed was officially filed and recorded on February 18, 1903, apparently in Deed Book QQ, page 275. An additional auditor’s notation appears to reference another county record book and page. The printed legal form was produced by Walker, Evans & Cogswell Co., Law Stationers, Charleston, South Carolina. Unlike an uncompleted deed draft, this document includes official county recording information, making it an authentic piece of early 20th-century Horry County property history. Condition: Original antique condition with multiple period folds, age toning, scattered staining and foxing, handwriting fading, creasing, fold wear and minor edge wear. Some portions of the cursive writing are difficult to read, but the document remains substantially complete and legible. Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the condition description. A desirable historical document for collectors and researchers of Horry County land ownership, South Carolina genealogy and the Hardwick, Mishoe and Cannon families.
