The following are transcriptions of records and documents I found at the North Carolina State Archives in Raleigh. The Archives has many, many original documents not found anywhere else and many have not been microfilmed. Courthouses all over North Carolina send the old records to Raleigh for safekeeping and a special facility has been built to keep these records as safe as possible under climate controlled conditions and kept in acid free folders and boxes. The documents are available to research and copy. Many of these records have not been microfilmed.

I highly recommend either going to the Archives in person or writing to find out if there are records for those you're researching.
