On June 25, 2007, I sent a letter of request for the deeds mentioned in the "More about facts"
section. I received a reply from Velma Long, Deputy Register of Deeds for the county of
Northampton, N. C. returning my check and saying that they could not make copies for me
because the deed books do not come apart and suggested that I contact the N. C. Archives.
I can not afford to do that as the Archives charges a $20 search fee for each request. Making this
request would be about $200.00. I will have to go to the Archives and search the microfilm myself
unless I can find this at the LDS library.
