Transcription of Provincial North Carolina Wills, 1663-1729/30

Description

These volumes, which are available individually as well as a set, contain meticulous transcriptions of 900 of the earliest wills in North Carolina. With the exception of a handful of wills that were previously published in J Bryan Grimes’ “North Carolina Wills and Inventories” (1912, reprinted by Clearfield Company in 2005), none of these transcriptions has ever appeared in print before. The wills are part of the North Carolina Secretary of State papers, and they encompass the entire period before North Carolina became a royal colony.
