Thought this might be helpful to others. This is the list of all DUKE wills from Warren Co, NC (and I've included neighboring Franklin Co & Northampton Co, as well as Orange - since there are many known families with connections between these counties and Warren). These are as listed in “North Carolina Wills: A Testator Index, 1665-1900,” by Thornton W. Mitchell, (corrected & revised edition),1992. - I tried to be careful, but I'm human and could have made mistakes, so be sure to check Mitchell's book. FYI, there are NO Duke wills listed in Granville County. And, by the way, the OLDEST Duke will in NC, as listed by Mitchell, is that of Robert Duke, in 1767, in Northampton Co., which of course, borders Warren to the northeast. If an original will is extant, then there is a notation as to where the original is held - "Ar" (for NC Archives in Raleigh) - or that the county holds the original. Sometimes the only thing extant is a "copy" of the will, as copied into the county's will books. The volume and page of the will book copy is given. Anyway, I hope this proves helpful to others, and many thanks to those of you who have been so helpful to me.
