Subject: DAVID ROBINSON Date: Fri, 07 Jul 2000 09:31:17 -0700 From: Lorraine Robinson <[email protected]> To: [email protected] would like to find will of David Robinson who died 24 Dec. 1801 Will is dated 22 Dec, 1801 and filed at Catawba Co. N.C. Cannot find a will index or probate index. Thanks for any help Lorraine Robinson [email protected] =========== Catawba Co., NC was not formed until 1842. The original of David Robinson's Lincoln Co. will dated 22 December 1801 is on file at North Carolina Archives. An index to wills is available: Thornton W. Mitchell, "North Carolina Wills: A Testator Index, 1665-1900," (Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc: 1992, and updated reprints since). See also Miles S. Philbeck Jr. and Grace Turner, "Lincoln County, NC Will Abstracts 1779-1910," (by compilers, 600 Lynnwood Avenue, Wilson, NC 27893: 1986). David Robinson's will is abstract #1041. "Inventory of Lincoln County Estates Files at North Carolina Archives," compiled 1998 by Grace Williamson Turner, does not reflect an estate file for David Robinson. Further resources for relevant estate probate information include Lincoln County Court minutes, administration bonds, guardian bonds, deeds.
