Welcome to my new page. I continue to research North Carolina Revolutionary War history. From this research I photograph and transcribe original records out of the State Archives (Raleigh) and then publish these records in book form - as well. My transcription process is different than most. I include a photo of the original document, and then transcribe only the specific information relative to the topic. This is indexed and cataloged for quick searching. In addition I will include maps from the time period as well as modern maps if I can locate a specific locale. This was done for some of the road, bridge, mill, ferry, and ordinary (Taverns) records. I also write history books for specific mills, battles, and some genealogy.
