    1. [NCGRANVI] Jury Lists, 1769, for Orange Co. and Granville Cos., NC
    2. I'm sure many of you have read these lists before, but this will jog your memory. Remember, this date precedes the American Revolution. This set of volumes, full of interesting letters and records pertaining to our colonial folk, are available on microfiche (however, there are 270 of them, I finally learned) from the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. Each fiche costs 15 cents apiece. Some large university libraries have these sets of books. There is an index in a separate volume, if I remember correctly. Source: William L.
