C.R.X. Records

In the Card Catalog, in the search room, in the NC State Archives is a category called C. R. X. records. This means that the archives have records that were not in their possession at one time or the other and which, have now been returned.

Here is what it says on the cards, verbatim. So, if you don't understand it, then I probably don't either. <grin>

Where is says 'no dates' and then gives a date, I read it to mean, some of the papers do not have dates but, the ones that do, are the dates given here.

When they give a surname with a dash and another surname, they mean that there are other names, in alphabetical order, between those two given.

ESTATES RECORDS::  5 documents (these are not the only estates records, see further down the list)
C.R.X. Box 5 - Estates Records for Joshua Johnston (Johnson), 1830: David Poe, 1824; Disey Taylor, 1807; William Vestal, 1828; and Joshua Williams, 1814.

Rec'd 5-7-73 from Mrs. Sexton Wall, Jr.
it gives her address at that time but, I won't post it here, in case she is still living, (even though it has been near 40 years).

I have posted bastardy bonds from 1775 on the page by reading the court minutes and extracting them. This may be the bastardy bonds done by Betty Camin, but, just can't say for sure, I've never looked at this file.
