Wilson County, N.C. - Road, Bridge, and Mill Records (1856-1911)

Wilson County was formed in 1855, from parts of Edgecombe, Nash, Johnston, and Wayne Counties. Researchers looking further back in time (especially 18th century), Edgecombe County will be the focal point (formed in 1741, from Bertie). I have transcribed all of the Edgecombe County records (Road, Bridge, and Mill) contained in two books. Also Nash County records have been transcribed (two volumes) as well as Johnston Co. (a very small and poorly preserved collection). Although a more modern county, Wilson has two boxes of road, bridge, and mill records in the State Archives. The first box contains the road records (1856-1911), and the second box containing the bridge records (1874-1909), mill records (1869-1886) and canal records (1883-1910).
