A New Book Out On Sampson County, N. C.

NINTEENTH CENTURY VITAL STATISTICS OF SAMPSON COUNTY AND DUPLIN COUNTY, N.
C., {1796 - 1870}, VOL. 1.

This book consists of articles on births, marriages, family reunions,
biographies, and deaths out of Fayetteville and Wilmington newspapers. I
have researched through many a newspapers for information on Sampson County.
I did Duplin County out of respect for it being the parent county of
Sampson County. There is so much quailty information in these articles. I
typed the articles as they appeared. There is no article abstraction here.
It has 244 pages with an index. The price is $30.00.





About The Book
Newspapers -Name of newspaper, place, date, and volume number. The
newspapers had no page numbers.



Births - No birth events located.



Marriages - Titles are listed in bold print. Articles tells of the bride
and groom, giving information on residence, relatives, name of the pastor
who performed the ceremony, date and place of wedding. Also there are poems
mentioned, as well as some short stories. Some articles, in volume 2,
marriages become more detailed in describing weddings and whom the
attendants were, along with poems and short stories.



Family Reunions - For whom the re-union was for, age, birthdate, and the
children if listed.



Biographies - For whom the article speaks of, describing the person's life,
family, and occupation.



Deaths - Titles are listed in bold print. Articles tells of the deceased,
where he passed away, of relatives, of what the deceased died from,
religious affiliations, and memorials given as a tribute of respect. Some
mentions the pastor who attends the funeral. There are many poems and
elaborate descriptions of the deceased as giving by family and friends,
along with some articles.



Titles and Headings - On all articles if there were titles or headings I
placed them in bold print. If there were special titles used such as in the
Butler Murder, I tried to match the exact fonts or letters as were used to
give the exact excitement when it first appeared.



Duplicate Entries - There are a few occasions where some entries were
similar. In these cases one entry may give more information on people than
the other entry, but both entries are given. Unless both are identical and
only one entry was entered.



Author's Note: These articles I have researched through many a newspapers
for information on Sampson County. I did Duplin County out of respect for
it being the parent county of Sampson County. I copied the articles as
they appeared. There is no abstraction here. There are a few occasions
where something was wrong with the paper and a word might not be legible or
the paper is too wrinkled to read. I feel like there is too much quality of
information in these articles to be abstracted and abstracting them takes
the meaning away as they were intended by the various author's who wrote
them.
