ABSTRACTS OF PITT COUNTY, NC WILLS: 1760­1858

Typing and transcription conventions:
1.  The names of negroes/slaves are given in parentheses following the 
    devisee to whom they were given, or otherwise listed, in order to 
    facilitate Aftrican-American genealogical research.
2.  If a relationship was stated in the will, it is spelled out; 
    otherwise, the word "Devisee" may be inserted by the compiler for
    clarification.
3.  If the surname of a devisee was not given, it is not guessed herein.
4.  If other persons were mentioned, but not as devisees, their names 
    are flagged as "Mentioned."
5.  Unless a word or spelling is in question by the transcriber, no 
    indication will be made of strange spellings (no "sic" or 
    underlining). Spelling, prior to the 20th century, was phonetic -- 
    the clerks simply wrote what they heard or saw.
6.  The wills are presented in alphabetical order.
