Hello everyone, The URL mentioned below contains the deed of a Henry Hill to Steward Pipkin in1764 in Hertford County NC. Also mentioned is a Colo Benjamin Hill. Hertford is a burned county, but somehow these Pipkins have come up with a lot of legal documents for their family that must have been in someone's personal collection. Hertford County http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/nc/hertford/misc/pipkin01.txt I am now researching some of my other names in Hertford' Gates Cos, that involve the Pipkins every now and again -- Harrell, Landing/Landen, Marsh/Mash. Hertford Co shares a border with Gates and Bertie Counties. Best Regards, Janet Hunter
