Many thanks to Beth O'Briant who extracted Tyrrell County Stock Marks, 1763-1819 and made
the extracts available to us. In these abstracts, names only are given, along with the
year. The stock marks used are not abstracted but are available, if needed, on microfilm
at the North Carolina Archives in Raleigh. A sample of an entire entry follows:
"Isaac Meekins Esquire record. For his son Isasc Meekins Proper mark a Croop and Slit in
each ear June 21st anno Dom. 1763"
In many cases after 1800, entries do not have dates. However, they were entered and copied
in chronological order, so they may be interpolated to a degree. To assist you in searching
this data, an every name index has been created. Where a name appears more than once, it is
followed by a number in parentheses so they may be differentiated. Each index entry points
to a distinct place in the extracts. Click on the name in the index and your browser will
open the extract table on the entry containing that person's name.
