Lincoln Co., North Carolina Information I transcribed the handwritten pages without changing any spelling, even when I knew the spelling was incorrect. I recommend that you do not use CTRL F to find a surname; the spelling of the various names is very irregular. Besides, the entire listing makes an interesting read. Although I didn't change the spelling, I did add some comments - those places where words are found in brackets [ ] are my additions. Anything contained within parentheses ( ) came from someone else.
