Prior to 1760, the Secretary of State for North Carolina had jurisdiction over probate matters instead of the local county courts. This publication covers estate records in the Secretary of State's Papers for surnames from Gilbert to Owen. The dates on the records extend past when probate jurisdiction was turned over to the counties because of the length of time that it took some estates to be resolved.
