This book is a compilation of the Road records of Orange County, NC. Volume 1 covers the images from 1786 to 1820. This is a combination of road petitions and overseer records. The petitions are cataloged the overseer records are not. All of the records include a IMAGE of the actual record. This is volume 1 of 3 volumes. The petitions will have a short transcription of the road details, and includes an index. Some of the records that were in bad shape, not readable or dont provide road historical information remain in the files of the archives (NC) so this book does NOT cover every single slip of paper in their collection.
