>Will someone tell me the records that exist for >Halifax County and how early. I am searching for records about 1743. >Thank you. Gayle > Halifax was formed in 1758 from Edgecombe County, but some earlier records are filed there. George Schweitzer's guidebook list the following that predate the county: bonds of apprentices 1722-1855 deeds 1732-1934 From 1741 to 1758, what is now Halifax was part of Edgecombe. Edgecombe county records extant for the 1741-1758 period include some court records, estate records, miscellaneous land records, and wills from 1750.
