Arrangements Made To Preserve Records Continued from Pag* I—Section 1 of examining the records of the General Court of Albemarle County, ndw stored in the Peo ples Bank & Trust Company. In going through the twenty eight bundles of these papers, we -have kept together the papers of each bundle, though' they have obviously been shuf fled many times. We have sqrt ed them into general categories as requested by the Department of Archives and History, except for those in quite bad conai 'ion, as many of them were. The period covered by these records is roughly from 1675 to 1725; the area covered includes all the counties of northeastern North Carolina. The most in- WqSeHrflffHa F f ousVuEfcM* E. L. PEARCE “Quality Seed* of Known Origin** PHONE 3839 Route 3 Edenton teresting papers are court min utes going hack to 1880. Other categories include warrants for arrests, summonses to witnesses, ofders for the attachment 04 property, papers connected* with suits (chiefly for debt, trespass and theft), bonds for the pay ment of debts or for good be havior or the fulfilment of some other obligation, depositions connected chiefly with criminal actions (though a few are con cerned with difficulties with the Indians), and lists of taxes and tithatoles. There we a few papers def initely not connected with Al bemarle County, such as post- Revohitionary port papers used to wrap the bundles and a list, of Chowan County Confederates at Camp Bee in Virginia. These we have separated from the Al bemarle County papers, and we recommend that they be re -1 tained .as part of the records of Chowan County. I Since all the northeastern counties trace their origin 'to Albemarle County, we recom mend that the Albemarle Coun ty records be given to the De partment of < Archives and His tory to be filed with all the other Albemarle County records in its possession. However, we should like to have your oer mission to have some of these papers photostated first, before any are released to the Depart ment of Archives and History. For instance, since many of the settlers of Chowan came from farther east, ’ the tithable lists for Perquimans, Pasquotank and Currituck and even Bath and I Hyde, throw a great deal of light on our own early history- These papers are not covered by the agreement of the Depart ment of Archives and History to microfilm for us the material directly connected with Chowan County, and, once they are giv en up, Will be accessible to _us I only by means of examination in Raleigh. Photostatic copies would form a valuable Dart of the permanent record of Chowan County. We estimate that the cost would be about SIOO. We shall be glad to submit for your approval a list of those we con sider especially important.
