Freshly posted excerpts. Some of these folks found early in Surry, Isle o' Wight VA, then Franklin/Warren/Edgecombe NC, and even later in Maury Co. TN (Collins, Murphy especially). Hope you see a name you like. This book is a valuable find, but I have only the few pages I requested, therefore no lookups, sorry. Murphys & others from "Bute County, North Carolina Minutes of the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions, 1767-1779" by Brent Holcomb -- Mark A. Murphy http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~freshnup/markmurph/
