If you are very, very lucky, you will find a bill of sale or an inventory of Charles from a Lynch family. You need to contact the SC Archives in Columbia, or the Abbeville Courthouse, to see if they have deeds (which is where bills of sale and mortgages, slave rental agreements, etc were recorded), wills, and estate papers for any and all Lynches (because slaves were frequently sold/leased/given to family members, to keep them nearby and in the family)
