In an earlier post, "Sampson County, North Carolina, Deed Index, Grantors - GODWIN," I described the Sampson County, North Carolina Deed Index for grantors microfilm that I reviewed at the North Carolina State Archives in Raleigh. I included scans of the xeroxed pages pertaining to the Godwin family. Below is a transcription of the two pages I copied from the index.
I have copies of some of the abstracts pertaining to these deeds, as well as copies of some of the original deeds. (I have copies of the original deeds in the entries marked with an "*" below)
**Updated 4/27/2011** - Sampson County Register of Deeds now has all of its deeds digitized and available online to view and save. Click here to access the site. Refer to my blog post "Sampson County North Carolina Deeds are now Online" for details on how to use the site.

HI Ginger,
ReplyDeleteI'm searching for background info on Silas Godwin (aka Charles Silas Godwin) who ended up in Washington county, GA after being born in Johnston, NC. He is the son of James Godwin. I'm wondering how you relate to this family - you did a lot of research transcribing those deeds. I'd love to hear from you - Sara
Hi Sara,
ReplyDeleteI would love to correspond further with you. Could you send me your email address?
Thank you,
Ginger
Ginger,
ReplyDeleteI am curious as to the Benjamin Daughtrey that shows up twice in these records you list. Can you give me anything more specific about him?
Ginger,
ReplyDeleteCan you provide any details as to the Benjamin Daughtrey listed in two of these Sampson County, NC transactions? Any more detail on the transaction itself?
Thanks
