The Bertie Index for courthouse records of Bertie Co, (1720-1875) (Deeds, land divisions, grants, abstracts of wills and marriage bonds) This is an abstract book on the Bertie Court Records, 1722-1885. It includes Land Grants, Land Divisions, Grantor Deeds, Marriages, and wills for this period. Fifteen minutes in this book is the equivalent to two days work in the courthouse. You can send the page numbers or book numbers to the Courthouse and receive photostats of the entire document. The books were distributed to most state libraries, and can be gotten on inter-library loan. They are out of print. A massive black book, it probably has a thousand pages. A little research with this would answer most questions about deeds, marriages and wills. Also gives in the deeds good information about site location. Fouts, Raymond Parker.

Abstract: Lewis Thompson, owner of plantations near Woodville (also called Hotel), Bertie County, N.C., and at Bayou Boeuf, near Alexandria, Rapides Parish, La. Thompson was also a political leader in North Carolina, serving in the House of Commons and State Senate, 1831-1852, and as a member of the General Convention of 1865. He was a UNC trustee from 1848 until his death. Business papers, ca. 1840-1871, of Lewis Thompson, consisting chiefly of correspondence, accounts, bills, receipts, slave lists, sharecropping contracts, and other documents relating to the production of cotton and wheat in Bertie County, N.C.; to sugar in Rapides Parish, La.; and to the sale of crops through factors in New York, Norfolk, New Orleans, and Baltimore. There is also a considerable amount of correspondence relating to Lewis Thompson's role as executor of many estates, particularly that of his father-in-law, William M. Clark, and to Thompson's investments with brokers in New York. Papers before 1840 consist chiefly of land grants, deeds, and estate papers of Thompson's Pugh, Williams, Clark, Thompson, and Urquhart relations. There is also a group of papers relating to land controlled by the Tuscarora Indians. Few papers relate to Thompson's political career or to his involvement with UNC. Papers after Thompson's death in 1867 relate chiefly to the activities his son, Thomas W. Thompson, who took over his father's North Carolina business affairs. The plantations in Louisiana had been run by Thomas's brother William for many years before their father's death. Online Catalog Terms: Bayou Boeuf (La.)--Social life and customs--19th century.
