Matthew Singleton
and the Settling of Sumter:
Preface


The Sumter County Museum invites you to view this special exhibit on one Sumter family from South Carolina's colonial period. Since this exhibit features several documents and maps which, for readability, have large file sizes, please be patient with slow downloads.

The images provided in this exhibit are not intended as fascimiles of the originals. They have been photocopied, digitized, and electronically enhanced to provide maximum readibility over the Internet. Special thanks are extended to Dr. Allen Stokes of the South Caroliniana Library for his gracious permission to use several of that repository's documents on this site. Permission to reproduce the images or text from this site must be received from the appropiate repository.

Finally, the staff of the Sumter County Museum wish to thank all of the men and women who, like the Singletons, risked everything to create this country.
