Austin, Loren D.

Abstract:

The author emphasizes the detail of information located in the 'North Carolina Reports" which is available likely in no other courthouse record or community newspaper. Originally titled the Court of Conference in 1799, the North Carolina Supreme Court took on it current name in 1805. As a point of illustration on the complexity of genealogical information found in "The Reports", the 1819 case of Shepard vs. Shepard expounds on some 23 persons throughout a period of four generations.
