About the Book Much has been written about Englishman, John Godbold, who appeared in South Carolina in the early 1730s. However, very little documentation of his life has been presented. This book reviews information about him from seven published sources, explores historical events and South Carolina political jurisdictions necessary for an understanding of the times in which he lived and presents a new documented version of Old John's story. Part two is a five generation family tree of Old John's descendants with information about their lives from census records, wills, court records, etc.
