Daniel data from North Carolina:

Edgecombe, Halifax, Nash, Wilson, Warren Counties

In June 06 I posted an alert here that I might have erred in the location of the correct White Oak Swamp. There are two, one in Wilson, one in Edgecombe. I have marked both, but believe the data here does refer to the one in Wilson.

updated 19 Sep 2006
including more Halifax land 1786-1802, more Halifax estate records, more Edgecombe court records, more land entries for various counties 1778-1795, a couple new map locations, other miscellaneous finds.

You can open this map in a new window to have handy when reading.

N.B. Entries preceded by ??? are provisionally placed in some of these sections: they didn't quite fit enough of the criteria I used to place others, but came very close. They are also repeated in the "Provisionally Placed" section at the end (in italics there).
N.B. The original part of an entry indicates the area covered by the abstract book used and its page, the second part (after the = sign) is for the original record book and page.

PROBATE RECORDS
I'm still working to organize this section. The records where location was certain are already placed in the appropriate section. Because there are others that can't be located, I've also listed all of the probate records I have here as well. I have not tried to cull probate/estate mentions from the land deeds.
Sometimes these are quick notes from original estate records from some of the counties covered here: I was mainly checking certain abstracts against the originals. Many of the cites are for later years; I only noted the deceased's name on the late ones and I haven't done the later land records to be sure of placing them geographically.
If you have info to help locate some of these I would love to be able to place them (citing you as source per your instructions)!
