The original Currituck County includes present-day Currituck and Dare counties and parts of Hyde and Tyrell counties. Nearly all of the early records of Currituck County itself have been lost; however, many references to people living in Currituck during its first hundred years can be found in two crucial collections of primary sources for the Tarheel State-\u003ci\u003eNorth Carolina Colonial Records\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Colonial Records of North Carolina Series II\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this volume, William Doub Bennett, a leading authority on the colonial records of North Carolina, has brought together a comprehensive list of inhabitants of Currituck County from 1700 to 1780 as found in tax and military records buried in the aforementioned colonial records, as well as in British records and in published works.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe lists transcribed by Mr. Bennett range from corn lists, quit rent lists, and jurymen lists, to tithables and tax lists, petitions, and militia lists. While all the lists have the virtue of placing a man in Currituck County at a particular time, some also give relationships for taxable-aged sons in a household, distinguish between single and married men, identify the race of the taxable, or give the amount of acreage owned by the colonist. The nearly thirty separate lists discovered by Mr. Bennett, extending from 1700 to 1779, which are arranged in chronological order, are preceded by a Foreword by noted genealogist Jo White Linn and a valuable Introductory essay on sources by the author. The complete name index at the back of the volume allows the researcher to turn to any of the more than 5,000 names in the volume with scarcely a moment of effort.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWilliam Doub Bennett\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2000\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780806349879\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e102-9073\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Genealogical Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31198599839862,"sku":"102-9073","price":31.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/102-9073-1500px.png?v=1777310650"},{"product_id":"117-nc103","title":"Orange County, North Carolina State Land Grants, 1778-1790, Volume 1","description":"\u003cp\u003eOrange County, North Carolina was formed in 1752 from Granville, Johnston and Bladen counties, within the Granville Proprietary.

These papers include Entries, Warrants to the Surveyor and Surveys. Over a thousand documents concerning land in present Wake, Caswell, Person, Orange, Durham, Alamance, Chatham, Rockingham, Guilford, Randolph, and Stokes Counties have been abstracted. These records cover the period from the formation of Orange County in 1752 until the closing of the Granville Proprietary Land Office in 1763. The information from the papers in the Granville Proprietary Land Office may be the date of entry with a rough description of the land including the waterway and names of neighboring landowners, the warrant, the survey with names of chain bearers, sometimes the date the deed was issued, and any assignment that may have occurred along the way. What this does is place people in a particular place at a particular time up to forty years before the first census and prior to the Revolution.
