Return to Currituck Co.
Quitrent was a fixed sum, payable in money or in kind (produce or commodities), owed by a freeholder to his feudal superior. In colonial North Carolina quitrents were often collected mainly to symbolize the authority of the Lords Proprietors or the Crown. Twelve pence or pennies (symbolized by "d" for denarius) made one shilling (symbolized by "s"). Twenty shillings made a pound (symbolized by "£").
