I see many of the names of German families of the early Friedens Church listed below. I previously mentioned that I had found a similar record on file in Elizabeth City, NC records posted on the internet. I now believe that the oath must have taken place in Salisbury ( based on this second identical record that contains more detail) I believe that the records of the naturalizations that took place in the Salisbury NC Superier Court must have been collected in the colony records that were later moved to Elizabeth City. My ancester Jacob Boon is shown in the Sept.22, 1763 group. Jacob Martin Boon (Sr.) was married to a Mary Albright. Does anyone know if the "Lodaweek Albright" shown on the March 22, 1763 list could have been the father of Martin's wife Mary Albright? (I do not have her parents names.) Also note the Cobbel, Summers, Clapp, Sharpe family connections in the list. FROM GUILFORD CO., NC DIGITAL BITS AND ENDS LINK ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- -- The following people (mostly German speaking) were naturalized in the Superior Court at Salisbury, Rowan Co., NC in the 1760s. Many of these were residents of the western part of Orange County. It seems that Salisbury was more convenient that Hillsborough. There was probably less language barrier, also. There is a typed abstract of the minutes in the Rowan Public Library in Salisbury. This information came from that abstract. The spelling of names is as it was in the abstract. The comment in (parentheses) are from the typed abstract.
