Scope and Contents note

Contains the 1929 mortgage agreement between Ebenezer African Methodist Episcopal Church's Trustees and Pastor and Milton A. Pearlstine, as a Trustee for A.I. Orlansky. The agreement was for the property on the east side of Nassau Street and in the amount of $3,000; there are also receipts to the City of Charleston Treasurer. Additionally, there are court documents relating to ownership of land on the south side of Hampden Court (known as No. 21). In 1918, John Bonaparte, a Trustee at Ebenezer African Methodist Episcopal Church, bought the land for the church in his name and with church funds. In 1929/1930, the church is petitioning the court for title to be transferred to the Trustees of Ebenezer African Methodist Episcopal Church. Included in this 1929 documentation is a copy of the 1918 Conveyance of land from John Bonaparte to Rev. A.F.B. Horry.
