From Edgefield County, South Carolina, Deed Books, Published by Heritage Book, Inc., Copyright 1998 by Carol Wells, Deed Book 27, pg. 21:
"DEED BOOK 27"
"p. 183 John C. Allen to Charles Williams, Sheriffs Title, 1 July 18 (year in the binding); Drury Bishop was seized in his demesne of lawful esate of inheritance to him and possesed of land, also Charles Williams in March 1805 obtained judgement against sd Drury Bishop for One thousand Dollars for costs and charges by him expended about prosecuting his suit and obtained judgment, land, chattels, houses to be sold.

Wit C Free Breithaupt, Richd Quarles /s/Jno C. Allen. Proven 7 October 1806 by Richard Quarles; Richd Tutt CC. Rec 7 October 1806"
I found this definition of seized in his demesne:
"seized in his demesne as of fee:"
"Formal words expressing the highest estate a subject can have in land. It is his property or dominicum, since it is for him and his heirs forever, not absolute, but in a qualified or feudal sense; and as of fee, because not purely and simply his own, since it is held of a feudal superior."
