I'd like to have suggestions for how to record location counties for
older records when the county wasn't formed yet. Examples: 1) John
Smith is born in an area that is now Newberry County, SC, however, he
was born pre-1785, and at that time Newberry County did not exist. His
area was called the Ninety-Six District in South Carolina.
He was born in "Ninety-Six District, South Carolina, USA" and in the
notes indicate. This area is now part of Newberry County, S.C."
2) Susan
Smith is born in the Fayette County area of Texas in 1830. Texas was
not even a state then.
As above, using the designation of the area at the time of the event,
with an explanation in the notes.
