‼️Free NC Webinar "Crimes Across Multiple Jurisdictions: Piedmont Outlaws - The Abbott Brothers" ‼
Register to join a free live webinar on Wednesday 4 December from 7-8 pm EST sponsored by the North Carolina Genealogical Society and presented by Diane L. Richard - “Crimes Across Multiple Jurisdictions: Piedmont Outlaws – The Abbott Brothers”
Understanding the legal jurisdiction and geography of ancestors and events is critical in finding needed genealogical records. For various historical reasons, records are not always found in the most obvious places; we need to stretch ourselves and look elsewhere.
The four Abbott brothers, responsible for a one-family 18th-century Piedmont NC crime spree, will help us illustrate this as we look at various courts (Courts of Pleas and Quarters, District Superior, North Carolina Supreme, etc.), Treasurer & Comptroller, and General Assembly Session Records, plus a private lawyer’s ledger, and more.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. This event is sponsored through LogMeIn GoToWebinar, and will be viewable via the link sent to you after registration. It will not be on the North Carolina Genealogical Society web site.

One of the sources used to put together this story is "a private lawyer’s ledger" - the NC Genealogical Society's Journal has been doing a series of excerpts from ledgers and other business documents that have survived in various archives. (Presenter Diane Richard is the editor of the NCGS Journal.)
Non-society members may be able to consult hard-copy issues at a local library's genealogy collection (I can here in Georgia). NCGS members can use the digital archive, plus have access to materials not printed (for space) in the NCGS Journal "Supplements" at the same website.
