Hello Group... and all of our displaced Pitt Co NC friends with ancestral roots beginning with Bath County 1696, Pamtecough 1705, Beaufort 1712, with Beaufort gaining from Craven 1757, and FINALLY forming PITT County 1760 ..... you can see... these roots stretch far and deep along the Migration Trails to the many families that now populate these United States. ………and so, here is another UPDATE on Pitt County NC CHRONICLES VOL II, as requested by many of you on my UpDate List and the various eMail Lists. Hopefully, this won’t ‘overlap’ each other and you receive several. If so, consider this my apology and just delete! Thanks! HOORAY!!!! CHRONICLES OF PITT COUNTY, North Carolina, VOLUME II, published by the Pitt County Historical Society, is scheduled to arrive in Greenville around 28 June 2005 and will be distributed immediately to those who have prepaid. Look for your UPS shipments first weeks in July, labels being prepared as we speak. SHEPPARD MEMORIAL LIBRARY, Greenville, N.C. is the 'Pick-Up' Location for PREPAID only. [No sales can be made at the Library.] Copies of Volume II may still be purchased at the pre-publication price of $53.50 (including tax). Locals can pick-up copies at the Humber House in Greenville. UPS Shipment Orders still accepted, see below. For new orders requiring shipping, the total cost is $60.00.
