Stokes County Data and Family Links
Because Forsyth County was part of Stokes until 1849, we have included quite a few Forsyth county links on this page. Some links to neighboring Surry County, from which Stokes was formed in 1789, are also included. If you're researching Stokes County families before 1850, you should also visit the Forsyth County page.

2) Bond signed by James Davis, William Davis and William D. Wilson that bound James Davis as the Administrator of the estate of Winston Carter (1798-1855). The date of the bond is December 10, 1855 and the amount is $5,000. Winston Carter died without leaving a will. James Davis submitted a full accounting of the estate on December 14, 1857. Some 48 pages of documentation are known to exist concerning this estate, copies of which are in my possession (Notes by Kenny Carter, written September 16, 2002).
