Both Nash County (1777) and Halifax County (1758) were formed from Edgecombe County. Northampton County was formed in 1741 from Bertie County. The best contemporary documentary evidence for an accurate location of these settlers when the county was created is the original Land Entry Book. It has better details than that to be found in the subsequent land grants. It was customary for the settler to describe the location of his plantation on some stream or head waters of some stream, or on some mountain. Each entry is dated. There were numerous transfers of entries before the issuance of a grant. Some are referred to in the entry, but generally the entry taker would mark through the name of the original entree and insert the name of the one to whom it was transferred. Not only was the first name entered frequently marked out, but many times erased and the next name written in its place. Many of the entries had as many as four names marked out and written in with no way of knowing whose name was the last one written. North Carolina started recording land transactions through the Land Entry System around March 1778.

It covers the counties of Anson, Beaufort, Bertie, Bladen, Brunswick, Carteret, Craven, Cumberland, Currituck, Dobbs, Duplin, Edgecombe, Halifax, Hyde, Johnston, Mecklenburg, New Hanover, Onslow, Orange, Pitt, and Tryon. The first part contains abstracts of petitions to North Carolina’s Governor or the Governor and the King’s Council. Resurveys of grants were to use the marked trees and natural bounds mentioned in the grant, if they could be found; otherwise, the surveyor was to follow the courses and distances mentioned in the grant. The second part covers abstracts of Land warrants with varying degrees of information about the date, warrantee, \u0026amp; land. The warrants in this book are included here so they will be more readily available to interested people. Many of these warrants aren’t dated. In other cases, the number of acres in the warrant, warrant date, number of acres in the grant, grant date, \u0026amp; person who received the money for recording the warrant [or his initials] are indicated. Unfortunately, it isn’t always clear whose name goes with the initials. The last part coverts the land caveats in 1753 and between 1767 and 1773. Caveats were petitions to the Governor and King’s Council [called the Court of Claims when they met to discuss land matters]. These petitions were made to try to stop a grant from issuing. When the Council agreed with the petition, a trial would be ordered on the land as opposed to a trial in the county courthouse. When a decision was reached, the winner would need to present a copy of the verdict to the Council so they would issue a warrant for survey and, later, a grant could issue. The “drawback” to the caveats is that they lack all the details of the case. The surviving records usually mention the plaintiff, defendant, and a brief description of the land. It is often difficult to locate county court records to determine the winner in each case, or even if a trial was held at all. A method to determine who won may be to consult the colonial grant and try to find if either party received a grant for all or part of the disputed land. As with all land grants, the grantee had to pay the surveyor’s fees and colony’s fees. Some grants may not have issued because these fees weren’t paid even though a trial was held. On some occasions, the plaintiff may have already owned the disputed land; these grants are dated prior to the caveat and may be for more or less land than the amount in the caveat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlbert Bruce Pruitt\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e(1993), 2026, paper, Index, 224 pp.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eISBN:  9780944992470\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e117-NC237\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Southern Historical Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43526924861558,"sku":"117-NC237","price":32.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/SHP-logo-1500px_2ebc3b85-a0f5-4005-841f-87a67eddc953.png?v=1781537667"}],"url":"https:\/\/heritagebooks.com\/collections\/north-carolina-edgecombe-county\/newspapers+death-records.oembed","provider":"Heritage Books, Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
