On Friday, February 15, Mr. Aaron G. Fett made reference on this list to a 2003 posting on the Bertie County list made by Lisa Graham wherein Lisa Graham had listed twenty legal name changes made in various North Carolina counties during the years 1800-1804 pursuant to an Act of the General Assembly of North Carolina. If Lisa Graham's address, above, is still viable, please give us citation to those twenty name-change records, especially the 1801 record dealing with changing the name of Jonas Beneigh to Jonas Anthony in Lincoln County, whose father was Benjamin Anthony. http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/read/ncbertie/2003-01/1043621294 If all name changes, for all counties, are filed together for a span of years certain, please advise names of those counties and span of years. Also, when, if ever, was recording of these name changes discontinued as part of the records of the General Assembly of North Carolina? Thank you.
