Orange County NC Slave Records

February 20, 2018
What follows is an index by name of over 4,000 enslaved people who are mentioned in the old Deed Books of Orange County, North Carolina. This index was compiled through the hard work of three interns, Rae Hoyle and Merisa Tomczak from UNC-Chapel Hill and Khadija McNair of NCCU. This effort was coordinated by Deputy Register of Deeds James Bartow and edited by Mark Chilton, the Register of Deeds of Orange County.

We hope to be able to further edit this index, but are publishing it now in order to make the information available as soon as possible. There are undoubtedly some typographical errors and/or errors in reading the old hand-written documents from which this index was compiled. Please email mchilton@orangecountync.gov with any corrections you may notice.

All of the original documents cited below are available online in digital format at the following website:www.CourthouseComputerSystems.com/orangenc/
