Abstract:
A study of the society and economy in colonial Edgecombe County from 1730 to 1775 brought about by a then current interest in historical demography, developments in historical geography in Colonial North Carolina launched by H. Roy Merrens, and the large repository of county records which, at the time of the article's writing, had not been mined of their potential. The article relies heavily on inventories of estates in conjunction with other county data.
