Records of the duties on trade at Charleston, South Carolina, 1784 to 1789. Two volumes of Manifests and Entries, record manifests, entries and duties on cargoes from all parts from 8 May 1784 to 27 March 1787. Records give details such as name of the vessel, date of arrival, port of departure, the master's name, the manifest number, the merchants name and the date of his entry, a description of his consignment, the amount of general transient, and Negro duty payable, and the manner in which the tax was secured. From 27 March 1787 to August 1789 separate records for manifests from different ports were kept. There are five of these volumes - one each for Great Britain and Dominions;, France and Dominions;, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Prussia, and Dominions;, Spain, Portugal, and Dominions;, and Costal Trade of the United St ates. These are not as informative as those for the period from May 1784 to March 1787. A copy of the entry does not follow the manifest, only a statement of duties payable. All seven volumes contain indexes to the manifests.
