Richard, This exact same message was sent to me at Cemetery Census a day or so ago. I replied to Heidi with information that is available on the web site. I also asked Milton Forsyth to reply with any information he has. Milton has already replied to Heidi and given her some additional places to look for records. Here is Milton's reply: ------------------------------ The "Poor House Book" records cover the period 1842-1868 (1 Vol.) and the "Wardens of the Poor" records cover the period 1832-1879 (2 Vol). That does not mean these persons might not be mentioned in the many thousands of pages of other records that exist, but it is hard to think where one should look. If you want to look through these Poor House records they are on microfilm. There is a copy at the Orange County Library in Hillsborough, in the North Carolina Room. There is also a copy (and the originals) at the NC State Library and Archives in Raleigh. If they died while residing at the Poor House it is likely they were buried in the cemetery there. It is unfortunate the records aren't any better with regards to that cemetery. ------------------------------ The cemetery is listed at Cemetery Census as #083 - County Home [old] Burial Ground http://cemeterycensus.com/nc/orng/cem083.htm At 03:49 PM 03/13/08, you wrote: >Can anyone provide any assistance to this lady?

Thanks, Allen. I didn't think ahead and look there first to see what was available. - Richard Allen Dew wrote: > Richard, > > This exact same message was sent to me at Cemetery Census a day or so > ago.
