Yes, I just got those today. I spent the whole day in Raleigh at the archives building. Quite an experience, being my first time! I saw in a book on the Caffey line that Margaret Caffey left a share of her estate to John Roszell at her death. The source was listed as Rockingham Court of Equity, 1856, 1857, but had no luck finding it today. Are you also searching these lines? > From: "Louise T.

Does anyone know how I would go about finding out where my ancestor's land was located in Rockingham Co.? Is there a resource for such a thing? I have several deed lisings where people bought or sold land adjoining an ancestor's land and Troublesome Creek, which I looked up on the GNIS and found runs between Summerfield and Reidsville. Also, the Michael Caffey will of 1804 that I have leaves the plantation where he lives to his wife and he also mentions another plantation called the Johnston Place, containing 100 acres more or less. Is there a resource for this?
