Colonial North Carolina papers, ca. 1768-1771.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/27183754

Two documents relating to colonial North Carolina. One is a proclamation, circa 1768-1771, by William Tryon repealing a law of the colony of North Carolina passed in 1767, under orders from the royal government in England. The other is an unsigned statement, circa 1769-1770, by several freeholders of Orange County, N.C., asserting the fitness of Edmund Fanning to represent the county in the General Assembly and defending him from the criticisms of others. The latter document appears to be a draft, as a slightly different version appears in "State Records," VIII, 230-231.
