- North Carolina Historical and Genealogical Register 11 Volumes
by James Robert Bent Hathaway
A collection of eleven volumes, the North Carolina Historical and
Genealogical Register is regarded as the supreme collection of genealogical
source records on the Old Albemarle region of North Carolina. Compiled
and edited by James Hathaway between 1900 and 1903, each 160-page volume
included abstracts of every item relating to the personal as well as
the public history of the counties of the region.
In its 1,760 pages, the Register bears reference to at least 50,000
North Carolina settlers. Within the indexed images of these pages
you'll find abstracts of land grants, court records, conveyances,
births, deaths, marriages, wills, petitions, military records (including
a list of North Carolina Officers and Soldiers of the Continental
Line, 1775-1782), licenses, and oaths. In addition, you'll find dozens
of articles of a miscellaneous nature, several family sketches, as
well as a series of "Queries and Answers."
The abstracts derive from records located in the state archives
and from the public records of the following present-day counties:
Beaufort, Bertie, Camden, Chowan, Currituck, Dare, Gates, Halifax,
Hyde, Martin, Northampton, Pasquotank, Perquimans, Tyrrell, and Washington,
and the Virginia counties of Surry and Isle of Wight.

South Carolina counties of Marlboro, Chesterfield, Lancaster, York,

the most part) form the basis of this work. For each land grant, you'll

- Historical Sketches of North Carolina from 1584 to 1851
by John Hill Wheeler
Divided into two parts, Historical Sketches of North Carolina deals
first with the history of the state and second with historical sketches
of the component counties. The historical sketches are drawn almost
entirely from previously unpublished records and cover the history of
the formation of each county. They also include biographical sketches
of early settlers and accounts of prominent families, distinguished
statesmen, soldiers and professional men, and lists of county officials.
In addition to the electronic index created for this book, you'll find
a complete index at the back of the volume that refers to several thousand
persons who figured.
