 Introduction to the

BEAUFORT ORPHAN BOOKS

Beaufort County, under the name of Pamptecough, was created as a

precinct of Bath County in 1705. Bath County consisted of the territory
south of the Albemarle River and included Wickham (Hyde) and Archdale
(Craven) precincts. The County court sat at Bath Town, and for several
years during the eighteenth century, the Bath Town court represented both
Beaufort and Hyde precincts. The precinct system was superseded in 1739,
and the Beaufort County court met in Bath Town until Washington was made
the county seat in 1785. This explains why some early Hyde wills and deeds
may be found in Beaufort County records.

In March, 1808, Beaufort County began a series of records which are

court clerks' recording dockets popularly known as Orphan Books. These
books include wills and some probate data, inventories of goods and
chattels, accounts of sale of personal property of decedents, documents
relating to the sale of Negroes, debits and credits of estates, guardian
accounts, divisions of estates, and settlements of estates. The Orphan
Books include information not only about the estates of persons who died
with a will but, more importantly, those who died intestate.

The Beaufort County Orphan Books assume special significance when

it is realized that a minority of North Carolinians left a will to
distribute their estates; most died without a will. The Orphan Books,
therefore, contain data not only of the wealthy but also of those of lesser
wealth who did not leave a will.

There is no reason to believe that the Orphan Books of Beaufort

County were started in 1808 because of the reorganization of the superior
court system that took place in 1806. Probate of wills and supervision of
the administration of estates remained a function of the county Court of
Pleas and Quarter Sessions until 1868. There is some indication of wills
probated in Beaufort County prior to 1800 that they had been recorded in an
"Orphan Book," but that record volume has disappeared. Wills proved before
1808 were filed in the county court clerk's office and some time after
about 1860 were entered in a record volume identified as "Old Will Book."
In a few instances, wills that had been recorded in an Orphan Book were re-
recorded in the Old Will Book.

Although important for genealogical research, a transcribed Orphan

Book properly indexed is also of significance for social history of
Beaufort County because of its broad and extensive coverage. The period of
the early Nineteenth Century was important to North Carolina and this
volume gives a social and economic overview that may not readily be
obtained from other sources.

All the Wills and Estate Inventories have been transcribed. The Sale
Accounts, Division of Property and Guardian Accounts have been abstracted
with all names and dates listed in this text. When the Sale Accounts went
on for several pages, any one mans name may appear dozens of times. It is
listed here only once per document.

This book is listed at the North Carolina State Archives in the card file
under the Beaufort County Estate listing, Beaufort County Orphan Books, C.R.
009.501.1.

The Superior Court Clerk during the first 135 pages was Thomas Smaw. This
was until May, 1823. In February of 1824 Joseph B. HINTON became the clerk.
These men are not listed in the index each time they recorded a document,
but, only when they were listed within a document.

The original page numbers run down the left side of the text. The index to
this book refers to the numbers at the bottom of the pages.

Some of the unusual spellings and strange letter combinations have been
underlined to point out that this was the proper transcription.

(X) is used to indicate that the person had made their "mark" rather than by
signing of their names. Some of the marks other than (X) have been drawn
into this book.

This has always been one of my favorite series of books in the North
Carolina State Archives and I wanted to bring them to the attention of
people who have research problems in Beaufort County. The huge number of
wills listed in these books is in itself a delight to find. Please search
and enjoy. (All errors excepted.)

Grateful appreciation for the help and advice received from Weynette Haun,
Thornton Mitchell, Margaret Hofmann, Jo White Linn and the staff of the
North Carolina State Archives. Special thanks to my best friend EAC who
took the index and me to the computer and made it work.

In obedience to an order of the court to us directed we have Examined the acct.

equitable compensation for the great trouble that of settling an Estate so much

Land, part of the tract whereon he lived and died and then to my Bro. Samuel
four more, part of mine I did convey to Samuel and at the time of my selling to
Dan'l CAMPBELL we the said Henry and Samuel make a line between us as a division
line, saying a certain pine stump was Jones's corner and Brights begining so on
that principle it was made, but by the Widow Penelope WINFIELD & others it is
contended not to be Jones's Corner, but his corner is further to the East at or
near Jones's Creek which if that should prove to be the case, the line was not
a correct line, and instead of Henry geting his five as p. Will Samuel will get
the greater part and Henry the lesser, then in that case I the said Henry protest
the said line made and I do in that case authorise my Exors. to go against the
line, as I do protest the legality of it, and if possible to establish one agree-
able to the true meaning and intent of our dec'd Father M. Clark as his Will will
fully shew. In witness of this being my wish as annexed to my last Will and
Testament it doth Stand and appear I have in like manner hereto affixed my hand
