COLONIAL RECORDS OF LENOIR COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA ALSO KNOWN AS THE LOVIT
HINES COLLECTION - abstracted from Microfilm Roll Mf.P.194 by Martha
Mewborn Marble
NOTE: Lovit Hines collected as many originals or copies of original
documents located in private hands as he knew about and had the NC
Archives place said documents on microfilm. Some of these original
documents are still in the possession of private individuals and some have
been placed at the NC Archives or other institutions in Collections. In
addition there is another Lovit Hines Collection at the NC Archives of
original papers in P.C. 1759 (two boxes). My thanks to Ed Morris of the
Archives and Records Branch for this information. I have tried not to
duplicate individual documents already abstracted from various sources
especially the Edwards Collection where the original Hill and many of the
Hardee documents are found. No doubt many of the originals of records in
this Collection are in the James Hines and Wiatt Hines Collections, but
they have not been abstracted as yet. The researcher also needs to refer
to the Dobbs County Archives Page for those records that predate the
founding of Lenoir County.
