James Heron/Herron Immigration references - Page 2

Excerpts from "A Compilation of the Original Lists of Protestant Immigrants to South Carolina 1763-1773 compiled by Janie Revill copyright 1939

The immigrants listed in this volume were protestant refugees from Europe who came to South Carolina on the encouragement of an Act passed by the General Assembly of the Colony on July 25, 1761, called the Bounty Act. A copy of the Act is not available. It is referred to in the published Statutes of South Carolina as follows;

"AN ACT for repealing an Act passed the seventh day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred fifty-two, for altering and amending the sixth and seventh paragraphs of the Act commonly called the General Duty Act, and for appropriating and applying three-fifths of the tax appropriated and applied by the said sixth and seventh paragraphs of the said last mentioned Act as i hereinafter mentioned. (Passed July 25, 1761. The original too much torn to be copied.)'
