Concerning Hofmann's "North Carolina Abstracts of State Grants"
series...
Volume One contains Grant Book 28 through Grant Book 33
Volume Two contains Grant Book 34 through Grant Book 38
The web site for Mrs. Hofmann is
http://www.margaretmhofmann.com>www.margaretmhofmann.com
This site has a list of all Mrs. Hofmann's books as well as books
she sells for other people.
She also has a toll free phone line which is 800-455-8891
There are several counties covered in each Grant Book
This is a partial quote from George Stevenson, Private Manuscripts
Archivist, North Carolina State Archives dated October 13, 1998
(from the General Introduction to the State Grants books):
"In the three hundred year history of the land office the volumes
have been numbered and renumbered and the loose papers rearranged
more than once.
The final arrangement and renumbering were put into numbered
"shuck" files and a comprehensive grantee card index was made for
all the volumes and the loose papers...." then "...
Consequently, though Mrs. Hofmann has commenced with the lowest
numbered state grant book, L.G.B.28, and has continued on with
each succeeding volume,
one is going to find whole blocks junior grants appearing before
their seniors.
It cannot be helped, for the books can no longer be restored to
their correct order without pulling to pieces the whole apparatus
of numbered volumes, shucked files, and comprehensive card
index.
In the end, as Mrs. Hofmann publishes her abstracts with their
personal and geographical name indexes, the awkwardness of the
present numbering system will be overcome by her work."

PEARCE FAMILY BOOK
I've just completed my new Pearce book that includes bunches of
other families, like Foy, Whitfield, McCoy, Hardison, Grimes, etc.
etc... It's basically my line of Pearces from out of Duplin as
they crossed the border into Pender. Been researching it now for
gobs and gobs of time... found a good publisher that can do it as
a download (Ebook) or as a printed book. Can order it online.
Really cool system. Anyhow, just wanted to let you know it was
available now.
