Hi Ken, You're absolutely right. That is the information provided by the NC State Archives in their short prelude introduction of available Hertford County records. I didn't alter anything from that data that they provided. Thanks for setting that records straight for everyone. Guess it wouldn't hurt to ask the State Archives to correct that information now would it? Guess I'll write to them unless you'd like to do it? <g> Marianne ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken Christison" <christison@coastalnet.com> To: "Marianne Ordway" <mordway@adelphia.net> Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2003 2:22 PM Subject: Re: Hertford County formation. > Hi Marianne, > > Just checking to see why you just list Chowan as the county > that Hertford was formed from.
