This book is an abstracted transcription of the Burke County Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions records October 1791 - October 1798. Burke County was formed from the western section of Rowan County in 1777. Morganton was chosen as the county seat. Originally Burke County included parts of Lincoln, Rutherford, Buncombe, Yancey, Caldwell, McDowell, Avery, Catawba, Alexander, Watauga, Madison, Mitchell, and Avery Counties. In early North Carolina history, the County Court was the governing body of a particular county, having judicial power as well as overseeing the fiscal and other affairs of the area within its jurisdiction. The types of orders contained within these records include: Deed Conveyances, Road Orders, Estate Administrator approvals, Executor appointments of Wills, District Boundaries, Criminal Trials, Debt Trials, Officer's Bonds (Sheriffs, Constables, Commissioners, etc.), Militia Officer recommendations, County Levies, Magisterial Court Appeals, Fines, County Expenditures and Revenues, Recommendations for Superior Court trials, Overseers of the Poor orders, Slave related orders, and so much more!

By: Raymond Parker Fouts, Pub. 1984, reprinted 2024, 154 pages, Index, soft cover, ISBN #978-1-63914-182-1. Gates County was created in 1778 from Hertford, Chowan and Perquimans counties, N.C. It is located in the Northeastern corner of the state bordering Virginia. It is surrounded by the counties of Camden, Chowan, Hertford, Pasquotank, Perquimans counties N.C. and by Nansemond County, VA. Many inhabitants of the "BURNED" counties of Hertford, N.C. and Nansemond, VA. which adjoin Gates County are mentioned in these early Court records. The court was held 4 times a year and heard such cases of assault, batteries, trespass, all breaches of the peace. They held authority of administration in intestate estates and orphans, granted license to build water grist mills, to taverns and ordinaries, and to build and maintain public ferries. The court also appointed Constables and Overseers of Roads and named the men who lived within the bounds to keep them in repair, as well as recommending three persons to the Governor, of whom one was made Sheriff, as well as imposing taxes for roads, courthouses and goals, appointed all county officers, civil and military, all lists of Jurors and probates of Wills. These records are extremely valuable for the researcher, especially if an ancestor died intestate (without a will), and in some instances a person may be listed in these court records and nowhere else in the county records.

"Road records...are from pre-Department of Transportation days. ...The road records with which we have worked are loose papers in the North Carolina State Archives in Raleigh with the call number of CR.014.925, which falls under the category of 'Miscellaneous Records'... Road records give us names of men designated by the court to help with making and maintaining the roads. The men lived on or within a given distance from a road, usually one to three miles, many of whom were neighbors and often inter-related by marriage. ...Genealogists will find the road records helpful in knowing if their ancestors were in Burke County and in finding names of possible relatives."--Pages [1-2], Volume 1.
