Hello,

Sorry to hear it didn't help you. Under the map is a list of counties, click on the counties to see a list of biographies associated with that county. You can also go to https://www.ncpedia.org/biography and see a list of biographies by the type of person.

It is important to note that many of these biographies, especially those of the Bright family, have been proven to contain many errors thanks to the hard work and documentation of later researchers. While these may be a good starting place, please double check and prove the family lines to insure accuracy.

Trying to find information on the plantation owners by the name of Armstrong. My great-great grandfather was Abraham Armstrong from Joyner Wilson County North Carolina. Do not know if he was slave or free. Born around 1838 according to the census for that time period.

Dietrich Ramseur (Ramsauer) and his sons, my ancestors from Lincoln County, did not appear on the list of Biographies. Your publication would not be complete without them.
Sincerely.
