Well, I don't know how far Frisco is from Houston or Dallas or San Antonio, but all those Texas cities have WONDERFUL genealogical libraries, and I believe I would try to spend some time prior to your trip trying to find published records of Granville Co. at those libraries. Of course, I am speaking of early days, and perhaps your people were there later. These are some of the authors who have abstracted and published books on Granville Co. Look up these authors in some online catalogs: Last names first: Gwynn, Zae Hargett - court records, deeds, some estate records [these are old books and should be widely available, but who knows?] Rackley, Timothy - these are rather new and may not be widely available. Deeds and some early wills Owen, Thomas McAdory - more or less a social history transcribed from his notes which I understand are at the Library of Congress. Holcomb, Brent H. - marriages of Granville Co. with a few errors Hofmann, Margaret M. - land records of Granville District [which covered a LOT of territory as practically all the northern part of North Carolina in the early days was Granville District. There may be at one of the libraries a CD-ROM of the Journal of the North Carolina Genealogical Society, which in some of the early issues had things like early tax records, etc. Good luck! Enjoy the dogwoods and the azaleas. Eating places seemed to be few and far between in Oxford some years ago. Try Chinese restaurants and prowl around where your ancestors lived. E.W.Wallace
