It was divided into Chowan, Currituck, Pasquotank, and Perquimans precincts by 1668 and ceased to exist by 1689. The name Albemarle Co. , however, was still used for that section of NC for many years; the precincts above are counties today. Bath Co. was formed in 1696 and included areas on both sides of the Pamlico River which flows into Pamlico Sound. It was divided into Archdale, Pamptecough, and Wickham precincts in 1705. Archdale was changed to Craven; Pamptecough to Beaufort; and Wickham to Hyde all c1712. Reference: The Formation of the North Carolina Counties 1663-1943 by David Leroy Corbitt (1950). Richard A.

Hi, I am trying to find the origins of a Thomas SKINNER and wife Sarah. They lived in Rowan Co at least by 1800. Sold 60 acres on Dutchman's creek to a Jonathan FROST in 1815 and moved to Montgomery Co, Ohio by 1819. Thomas died there in 1828. A source gives that Sarah's surname was PICKRELL. They name a child Anderson SKINNER. A Charles ANDERSON serves as bondman of the marriage of a daughter in 1813. Ranson POWELL is a witness to two his daughters marriages. I am wondering if ANDERSON or POWELL are related. I do have the microfiche version of the North Carolina marriage bond index covering the names of SKINNER, PICKELL, POWELL, and ANDERSON.
