Kate’s notes: What I have provided here is a comprehensive list of Gilliland/Gilleland land and property records held by the South Carolina Dept. of Archives and History. What I mean by “comprehensive” is that not all of the records here pertain to lands held directly by Gillilands but might mention, for example, lands neighboring those held by Gillilands. These kinds of records hold both genealogical and historical importance, for they not only tell us which families were connected to or neighbors of Gilliland families but in some instances even provide maps indicating the location of Gilliland lands within a community. For a more detailed description of the entries below, please use the information provided in this index along with the search engine.
