Bertie COUNTY NC COURT Execution Dockets 1748-1767. Misc Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by cfarris@pacific.net Cathy Farris http://www.usgwarchives.net/nc/bertie.htm I don't know that these will be of any use to you. I read thru these books looking for BRYAN(T) records. The books only had the case names, no story to go with it or any reference to another record. Cathy The following information was obtained from NCArchives April 2002. The information was read from big books called Bertie County Court Pleas 010.304.1 1748-1767. These are called Execution Dockets. I am reading thru these to find some kind of reference of a court case to see if someone lost a law suit and that may have been how Michael and Olive obtained the 100ac they sold to Aaron ELLIS in 1757. There doesn't seem to be much helpful information. But I will read what I can to see if any thing helps. The pages have column headings and do not have any information or detail about the cases. The PERSONS NAME DEBT CLERK FEE RETURNS are the general columns. Sometimes the handwritten statements may include a sentence like "Such is not to be found" or "in another county"...cathy 1765 Ebenezer TOMLINSON vs. Anne ELLIS The report says "No goods to sell, lives in Tyrell County.
