In March and April, 1996, a group of genealogists organized the Kentucky Comprehensive Genealogy Database. The idea was to provide a single entry point for all counties in Kentucky, where collected databases would be stored. In addition, the databases would be indexed and cross-linked, so that even if an individual were found in more than one county, they could be located in the index.
At the same time, volunteers were found who were willing to coordinate the collection of databases and generally oversee the contents of the web page. The USGenWeb Project is an extension of the KYGenWeb Project. It is an independent project and is No Way a property of rootsweb/MyFamily.
My name is Diane and I'm one of the volunteers responsible for Pitt County. Please contact me if you have data you would like added, a link you think should be included, any other suggestions or comments or if you would like to volunteer to do lookups.
Disclaimer - Please Read- As the volunteer for Pitt County, I am simply the person who puts the page together and maintains it. I am by no means an expert on genealogy, any individual Pitt County families, or Pitt County itself. I hope you will understand that I am unable to answer individual questions about Pitt County history or Pitt County families (other than my own families that I am linked with on the pages). My purpose is to provide a place where you can find other researchers and other sources of information. As I find more information sources, they will be posted. If you have sources to suggest, I hope you will contact me. I am always on the lookout for additional information. If you have questions, please send them in the form of queries to be posted.
Pitt was formed in 1760 from Beaufort County by a legislative act which became effective January 1,1761. It was named for William Pitt. It is in the eastern part of North Carolina and is surrounded by Beaufort, Craven, Edgecombe, Greene, Lenoir, Martin, and Wilson counties.
Courts were first held at the home of John Hardy until a courthouse could be built. The courthouse was built on Hardy's land near Hardy's Chapel. In 1771 Martinsboro was established, and in 1774 the courthouse was moved there. In 1787 Martinsboro's name was changed to Greenville, which is still the county seat.
