After my last attempt to send you a URL..I am almost afraid to try again. ;-) I have posted a new Gedcom from Yvonne Kimbrell Gray today. You can find it through my home page listed on the bottom of this message. there are many NC names included. The Gedcom software has been updated and is much better. If I have yours posted, it might be time to update it. If I don't, consider sharing. The following information is from Frank Bell, re: Secretary of State Wills: To obtain copies of the wills, "write to Kim Cumber Search Room, NC Division of Archives and History 109 E. Jones St Raleigh, NC 27601-2807 send a self-addressed stamped envelope your one question a check for $8.00 (search fee) in return mail, you will be advised of the number of pages in the estate folder and the cost to produce copies. As I understand, prior to the revolution wills and estate records were filed with the Secretary of State office. These wills are not to be found in county records, but the original wills are found at the NC State Archives" Mary Westbrook-Drake ICQ# 14695319 <http://www.thedrake.org/note1.htm>
