These are copies of the originals that I have. (they are on legal size paper)
I obtained these copies from the court house in Barnwell a few years ago while doing research on my family tree.  At the time I thought I would be able to make a connection, but to date, I have not.
Possibly in your research you have come across a John Moye of NC or Georgia b.3 June 1840 married Eliza Wilson b. 21 May 1843. I've been told records were burned or destroyed in one way or another.  Nothing in the census records either.
