Crimes Across Multiple Jurisdictions: Piedmont Outlaws – The Abbott Brothers (Webinars)
7:00 pm to 8:00 pm Online
The North Carolina Genealogical Society is delighted to present Diane L. Richard's “Crimes Across Multiple Jurisdictions: Piedmont Outlaws – The Abbott Brothers”. This live Webinar will be available to the public on Wednesday, 4 Dec 2024, at 7 pm ET.
Understanding the legal jurisdiction and geography of ancestors and events is critical in finding needed genealogical records. For various historical reasons, records are not always found in the most obvious places; we need to stretch ourselves and look elsewhere. The four Abbott brothers, responsible for a one-family 18th-century Piedmont crime spree, will help us illustrate this as we look at various courts (Courts of Pleas and Quarters, District Superior, North Carolina Supreme, etc.), Treasurer & Comptroller, and General Assembly Session Records, plus a private lawyer’s ledger, and more.
