Dear Ira,  Subject should be DEEDS: I cannot answer answer all your questions in detail at this sitting.  First, I believe I was told by the administrator of the Granville Co. NC genforum that the books of Katharine Kerr Kendall, who did some wonderful abstracts of Caswell Co. NC (formed 1777 from Orange Co.) and of Person Co. has sold Kendall's books to Ancestry.com.  I have not checked that out.  But check to see whether your library has Ancestry.com, the library version.  If not, try the Family History Center nearest you.
