This complete transcription of the oldest minute book for the Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions for Richmond County, North Carolina (which at the time also included present-day Scotland County) includes lists of jurors, executors, county officers, road crews, and information on deeds and court cases from December 1779 until July 1786. These minutes provide valuable information on relationships, locations, and other details about persons in this area for a time when few other records are available. All individual and place names are included in the full-name index, which also contains cross-references for spelling variations. In the text, all surnames have been capitalized in order to assist the reader in locating them. Over a thousand individuals are named in the minutes.
