A good many North Carolinians came to Kentucky, especially attracted by the activities of Boonesborough. You may be interested in this information: Those of you fortunate enough to have access to the online genealogical database HeritageQuest through your local--or nearby--public library may be interested to know that this book (which is now outdated but still useful) appears in HeritageQuest: J Bryan Grimes Abstract of North Carolina Wills compiled from original and recorded wills in the office of the secretary of state Raleight: E. M. Uzell, 1910, 676 pgs. You will be happy to know there is an index at the end of the book. The index is alphabetized (good) and quite lengthy. You know of course there is a newer book of index of NC wills compiled by Thornton Mitchell. There are all sorts of papers and books (out of copyright) which have been digitzed. As you know, you cannot take as the truth something just because it has been printed. I learned this at my mother's knee. Didn't you? See your public librarian about a valid library card at any Public library near you who subscribes to this database. Then, most of the time, you can access this database at your home computer. (There are always exceptions, of course.) Have you checked your community college library or a nearby University library for genealogical volumes. Some are under genealogy (such as Burke's Peerage), others are under Family History, others under Immigration. Learn the call numbers for those categories. (My trouble is the parking problem.)
