| The idea of this book was conceived during one of the authors research trips while working on a family genealogy. In order to facilitate things, the county clerk placed at his disposal 10 of the old “Minute” and “Record” books prior to May 4, 1777, when apparently no court was held, as the pagination was continuous in the book. He abstraced just about everything, and he listed the documents he did not abstract. This includes Wills and Inventories, Bastardy Bonds (lots of these), apprenticeship indentures, marriage and bonds, etc. Some documents that he considered important he copied in full. His notes start in 1746 and most stopped after the Revolution, but he continued the marriage bonds in 1815. - United States - North Carolina - Granville |
