Bute County no longer exists in N.C. This was an early County, and some of the original records remain from 1765 to 1779, when the county was divided up. This book contains images of each record. This is not a large collection, however, it represents what remains in the N.C. Archives (Raleigh) dealing with Road, Bridge, Mill and Ordinary (Tavern) records.** Updated index, spelling errors etc.
