END OF BUTE CO.,N.C. DEEDS REGISTERED IN DEED BOOK 2, Warren County Registry

The few more pages in Deed Book 2, ending on page 360, contain five Warren Co., N.C. Deeds, all five acknowledged in November of 1781 and all five registered in 1783. Evidently, after Bute Co. was divided into Warren and Franklin Counties in 1779, the Warren County deeds were registered on the blank pages in the back of the Bute County Deed Books.

Abstracts of these Warren County deeds will be given, chronologically, in a later volume of this series.
