Estate Sale of Solomon Rainwater, Sr., ca 1765-1814, Pendleton District, SC
The estate administration file of Solomon Rainwater, Sr. consists of 17 documents, many of which are receipts scrawled on tiny scraps of paper. This inventory of the results of an auction appears to be the most genealogically significant. That the estate's contents were disposed of in this way suggests unpaid debts or back taxes were a problem. The dollar values in this record appear to be given in dollars, cents, and fractions of cents.
The estate's administrator, John Harris, was appointed on 14 Nov 1814, so it is reasonable to assume that Solomon died shortly before that date.
A true and perfect inventory of all the goods, chattels and personal estate of Solomon Rainwater, late of the State of So. Carolina, Pendleton District, yeoman deceased, made by us whose names are hereunder subscribed the 3rd day of December in the year of our Lord 1814.
