Abstract:
The author of this article is noted as a professor with North Carolina A & T University and Director of the Afro-American History Project. She explains in detail considerations, constraints, etc. in researching black families before and after 1865. An interesting note she inserts is that African tribes always maintained a genealogist or historian known as a "griot". That position became obscured with removal to the New World. Concerning other varied resources for consultation, North Carolina State Archives maintains a graves card file listing gravestone inscriptions in man of the state's cemeteries.

Records abstracted here relate to various aspects in the transportation of these prisoners.

In the 1760s, the first land grants were initiated by a group of men from Rowan but were not finalized due to the Earl Granville in 1763, which voided the power of Granville's land agents.
