On a trip to the NC Archives some time ago, I copied some Sampson County, NC
will abstracts. Someone had asked me for these, so I thought I would share
with the list. I am still behind in fulfilling requests some of you. I'll
try to get to them. Remind me if I don't.
The abstracts come from page 21 of:
SAMPSON COUNTY WILLS 1784 - 1900 abstracted by Elizabeth E. Ross, 396 Little
Creek Church Road, Clayton, NC 27520 I'm afraid I failed to get the
publisher and copyright date.
