Andersons of Colonial N. Carolina

In the post below I got all excited because I found a newspaper account that “may” be my ancestor.  As a mere mortal searching deeds and trying to find any and all tidbits of facts and clues and such… this just blows my socks off and I have to share.

Scroll down to    Tarboro Free Press… and search…

I’m like a giddy little pig in….  well… whatever…

Note… the Tarboro link is not “exactly” accurate… it says the papers start in 1832 but a “general” search has led me to some earlier papers… 1824 era… just sayn’

Kudos to the good folks that put this site together!
