A Short History of Bath County
In 1663 North Carolina was granted to eight of the political friends
of the recently restored King of England, Charles II. These men, known
as the Lords Proprietors of Carolina, promoted the settlement of this state. Settlers from Virginia began to push into the Albemarle region of eastern Carolina. As this area became inhabited some of the more adventurous settlers pushed southward and by the 1690's settlers had begun to appear on the Pamlico River. In 1696 the county of Bath was established and in 1705 the present Beaufort County was established as Pampticough precinct. -By: Herbert Paschal
Bath, North Carolina's First Town - 1705. A library sent to St. Thomas
Parish in 1701 became the first public library in the colony. Bath was
also the haunt of Edward Teach, better known as Blackbeard. He is said
to have married a local girl and briefly settled in the little harbor town
about 1716. There have always been legends that Blackbeard struck bargains in Bath with Royal Governor Charles Eden.

About the North Carolina GenWeb Project
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 NC GenWeb Project is an extension of the KY GenWeb Project. My name is Diane Kelly and I'm the volunteer responsible for Beaufort Co., Pamilco Co., and Pasquotank County. Please contact me if you have a link you think should be included, if you would like to volunteer to do lookups or if you have suggestions or comments..
