This Perquimans County Index is the second volume in a series of indexes for the loose County Estate Record Files that exist for the inhabitants who died in northeastern North Carolina before 1945. One of the most useful resources for genealogical research on a specific ancestor and their immediate family is the discovery of his or her estate papers. Unfortunately, finding the records for an ancestor is not always easy to accomplish. If a genealogical researcher does not already know where their ancestor was living before his or her death, isolating an ancestor's estate records may be challenging. The county boundaries changed several times during the early years of the Colony's or State's existence. Depending on the approximate time when a death may have occurred, genealogical researchers may need to examine the estate records for several different counties in order to find the one associated with their ancestor. The names in this index are arranged alphabetically by surname using the exact spelling recorded on the original files at the North Carolina State Archives. Also included in this volume is any additional information written on the individual estate file folders as well as a cross index for the estate files that listed multiple names.

The information contained within this book deals with only one branch of the Wood family who lived in the Pasquotank County and Perquimans County areas of North Carolina over the last three hundred years. While there are at least three non-related Wood family lines that fall within this range, this book concerns only my direct line of proven ancestors starting with the William Wood who was born during the late 1600's. This book includes detailed historical fact based biographies for each of my direct ancestors and information concerning William Wood's most probable ancestors. Also included is information about the ancient ancestors of this line that was ascertained from the results of two different DNA tests. Adding to the value of this work for genealogical research purposes is a general explanation on how DNA testing can be used to help trace problem ancestors and a step by step guide on the method used to isolate the facts. This book is fully indexed and contains 333 different surnames (978 full-names).

Increased interest in genealogical research has created a demand for better access to any information that may be found within the older legal records kept by the county where an ancestor had lived. The most useful type of these records for genealogical purposes is the hundreds of wills that were recorded before the turn of the 19th century. This book contains the detailed abstracts of the 1,182 wills that were written in Pasquotank County between the years 1720 and 1880. The abstracted records are in alphabetical order arranged by the surname of the testator and both the date the will was written and the date of probate is listed. Included in these abstracts are the names of each heir as well as their relationship to the testator (if mentioned), the bequests they received of land or slaves, the names of the executor or executrix and the names of the witnesses who signed the will. Also included in each abstract is the location or locations where the will can be found. The early history of how wills were recorded for Pasquotank County and the history of Pasquotank Will Books which are included the Introduction; an index which contains 773 different surnames (6,137 full-names) and a separate slave index with 718 names, adds to the value of this work for genealogical research.
