His knowledge of the records and people of Johnston County has been most valuable and will be remembered for years to come. Elizabeth E. Ross Page 2 of 36 ** PAGE BREAK ** Estates, NC, Johnston, 1781 – 1807, Vol. 1 INTRODUCTION Johnston County was established in 1746 from the western portion of Craven, with the first court being held at the home of Francis Stringer at the Ferry on the Neuse River. In 1759 the eastern portion was out off to form Dobbs and the Court House was moved to Hinton's Quarter, near what is now Clayton. In 1771 when Wake County was formed from the western part of Johnston, the Court House was moved to the home of John Smith, which was to become Smithfield in 1777. On the 1st of March 1786 orders were given by the court for the Court House to be moved 'from the place where it now Stands to the Center of the Section of Second, and Market Streets in Smithfield ...”, its present location. In 1843 a new brick Court House was erected on the present site and was used until 1920/21 when the present building was built. There has been no great loss of Johnston County records, and there have been no fires. Some records are missing in the Court of Pleas & Quarter Sessions Minutes, along with some Marriage Bonds and various other records, Ihfi3the bulk of the early loose papers have not survived due to age, lack of care or who knows what became of these early valuable papers. Soon after the occupation of Smithfield by Sherman's Troops in 1865, the Justices of the Court asked the conditions of the records in the Register of Deeds Office and the Clerk of Court. They reported that the Clerk's Office has suffered little damage, but the Deeds were scattered over the floor and extra help was needed to help arrange about 6 or 8 barrels full, and that many were not registered. The records abstracted from the Record of Estates in North Carolina State Archives contained in this series are those records returned to the Clerk of Court; Inventories, Administrators Reports, Guardians Reports, Sales of the Estate properties, some Bills of Sales, Division of property and Division of Slaves. Many Genealogical gleanings can be gathered from these records and are offered for your searching. Among the Loose papers found in the Estates Records Files in the North Carolina Archives are very few documents brought to the Court before 1820. This makes these records found in the Record of Estates most valuable. In the loose files in North Carolina State Archives, there are less than 20 files dating before 1800, and lets than 55 recorded between 1800 and 1820. Great effort has been made to include the names of Decedent, Executor or Administrator, Guardians, Orphans, Commissioners to settle and adjust the accounts and the list of the name of every buyer at the Sales of the Estate. Sometimes the finding of a man's name on the list of buyers at an Estate Sale may be the only time that his name is found in the County Records. Many were from other counties and many were not land owners or were just visiting or passing through. Successful hunting to you in the Johnston County Record of Estates. Elizabeth E.

However, Vol. III, 1795 - 1800 has a varied page numbering system. Beginning on page 284, there is only one page number for both pages of the entry, and no attempt was made to alter this system. Therefore the later pages of Vol. III are longer in content. All surnames are CAPITALIZED. Due to age and dimness of script, errors may have been made in transcribing certain phrases or names but not by intent. There are many ways of spelling names and many were used in the same document and can be noted by the various spellings in the text. Questionable spelling of words is indicated by a (?) or by ____? Often interchanged names: AVERA - AVERYT - AVERY : ATKINSON - ADKERSON BRYAN - BRYANT : ARTER - (CARTER?)
