Doh!!!! I went back over my notes. Somehow in transferring data between
programs things went awry and my 1900 census info ended up in the 1880 column.

That's what I get for trying to work on genealogy without the assistance of
caffeine.

Clarification on the Orangeburgh/Berkeley counties:
1882 - Berkeley formed from part of Charleston County
1910 - Orangeburgh gained from Berkeley
