Soderburg of Greenville, NC, is found in Pitt County Misc. Land Records, C. R. 079.408.2; NC Archives, Raleigh, NC. She believed that Deed Book FF burned in the courthouse fire of 1 858 which is incorrect. This Deed Book FF disappeared later and was probably stolen. This valuable deed book had deeds dated from the 1 830' along with earlier deeds as far back as 1815. Copies of some of the deeds from Deed Book FF have been discovered over the years and have appeared in past Quarterlies. Contributed by Roger Kammerer.
