Trudie Davis-Long continues the series of estate abstracts
originally begun by Zae Hargett Gwynn for Granville County, North
Carolina, which were published through Estate Docket Book 12 by
Joseph W. Watson. This volume is a guide to the original documents
that are housed at the Granville County Courthouse in Oxford, North
Carolina, and the North Carolina State Archives. This work covers
volumes twenty-two (1863-1868), twenty-three (1868-1887), and
twenty-four (1887-1902) of the original docket books and includes a
full-name, tract, and place index. Items of questionable
interpretation were checked against microfilm of the original
courthouse records. Entries typically include the full name of the
deceased, and may contain any combination of the following: name of
administrator, name of executor, name of spouse, name of guardian
appointed for minor children, names of children, names of
witnesses, names of slaves, names of buyers at estate sales,
details regarding property and its division. Property generally
includes money, land, slaves, livestock, furniture, and/or
household goods. Surnames are printed in bold. There were
handwritten notes on the original Gwynn manuscript, which have been
included here. Obvious spelling errors were corrected and some
punctuation was changed; however, all names are spelled as listed
in the manuscript.
