Hi-- I offered on the Rowan Co. list to lookup will abstracts, then I added taxes. I had so many requests, I decided it was a real need, so, I now extend my offer to search all of NC as contained in the following books: "Abstract of NC Wills compiled from Original & Recorded Wills in The Office of the Secretary of State", by J. Bryan Grumes, 1910, reprint 1980 "An Abstract of NC Wills From About 1760 to about 1800, Supplementing Grimes' Abstract of NC Wills 1663 to 1760", by Fred A. Olds, 1925, reprint 1983. Abstracts of Wills Recorded in Orange Co., NC 1752-1800 ... & 1800-1850", by Ruth Herndon Shields, 1957, reprint 1979. "North Carolina Taxpayers 1701-1786", by Clarence E. Ratcliff, 1984 If you're going to request a lookup, please take note of this full information on the books, as I will only refer to them by partial title or author in my answers. Be as specific as you can in your request. It will help me help you. In Olds, I will only check 1 or 2 counties. It is not indexed, but is grouped by alpha under each county that was formed prior to 1800. There is nothing after 1800 in any of these books.
