Additional Comments: 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.
