Hi all, This is my first time writing to the list. Has anyone ever checked out the microfilm? Rowan Original: 1743-1900 Microfilm: Record of Wills 1762-1959 If so, does it have a will or wills for Watkins? Any Watkins? The earliest date for James Watkins, Sr. that I found is: 15 May 1755 (Rowan) NC Deed Abstract James Watkins, Sr. I have been trying to find his parents for years! Today may be my lucky day so I am crossing my fingers. Thanks! Lois
