The Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions 1801-1805
By Ginger Beattie

The Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions is the lowest court of record
in the Warren County, North Carolina area.  This court met every three
months throughout the year.  From a researcher's point of view the names
of more people will appear here more than any other single source of
records and some names will only appear here.
   There are deeds that are proved and recorded, orphan bonds, leans,
child support orders, administration of wills and estate records, the
construction of county roads and bridges across waterways, the licensing
of taverns and eating houses, tax officials and their districts among
other things.
