3 thoughts on “1740 Chowan County North Carolina Jury List”

  1. Good evening,
    From the fact that Thomas Eason’s name does not appear on this published list, yet is the first one on the grand jury men list, I am assuming that the illustration is not a copy of the actual 1740 Chowan County North Carolina Jury List.
    Love the fact that you posted this list. It shows how valuable alternate sources of information can be to the historian and genealogists.
    Sincerely,
    John F. Speight
