Abstract:
Noted in the introduction, "the article is a much needed lesson for genealogists, who view cemeteries as reflections of a broader social and cultural context as well as sources of names and dates. As New England has long been a supplier of stone for North Carolina grave markers, so the Northern studies offer models which could be emulated to enlarge our understanding of southern culture."
Abstract:
Beaufort County was one of nineteen counties for which there was no surviving census record with the North Carolina state census taken between 1785 and 1787. Therefore the 1779 tax list serves as an excellent substitute for genealogists.
