New Hanover County was created in 1729 with the county seat being named Wilmington. New Hanover County is the parent county to: Brunswick, Duplin and Pender. It lies in the extreme Southeast corner of the state located along the Atlantic Ocean and the Cape Fear River. These newspapers were published out of Wilmington. All items of genealogical information were abstracted for this book. Local items of interest include such things as: deaths, marriages, court notices, lost items, advertisements of lands for sale, runaway slaves, advertisements for estate sales, business advertisements, and other items that will be of interest to the genealogists. The newspaper often provides greater detail than the county record of those that were recorded.

Hertford County was created in 1759 from parts of Bertie, Chowan, and Northampton Counties and later itself gave up parts of itself to help create Gates County. Hertford County is a BURNED County. These are some of the few earlier records that have been preserved. The dates 1835-1837 are the years in which these records were recorded in the County Court. The earliest data found in an account, which usually implies the year of death of the decedent, is 1832. The Court appointed auditors to "State and Settle" the accounts of the administration or executors of estates. They also made divisions of property to the heirs, a few of which are found in this volume in the form of proceeds of the estates. Sales of the perishable property in an estate were made by the administrators or executors, and sometimes the sheriff, by order of the court. They attracted buyers from nearby counties and Virginia, as well as family members and neighbors. Judging by the volume of "spirits" listed as "for the sale", they must have been quite congenial social occasions.

The court was held 4 times a year and heard such cases of assault, batteries, trespass, all breaches of the peace. They held authority of administration in intestate estates and orphans, granted license to build water grist mills, to taverns and ordinaries, and to build and maintain public ferries. The court also appointed Constables and Overseers of Roads and named the men who lived within the bounds to keep them in repair, as well as recommending three persons to the Governor, of whom one was made Sheriff, as well as imposing taxes for roads, courthouses and goals, appointed all county officers, civil and military, all lists of Jurors and probates of Wills. These records are extremely valuable for the researcher, especially if an ancestor died intestate (without a will), and in some instances a person may be listed in these court records and nowhere else in the county records.
