Bennett, Pub. 1997, Reprinted 2019, 174 pages, Index, soft cover, ISBN #0-89308-966-4 Orange county was formed in 1752 from Granville, Johnston, and Bladen counties with Granville having been formed from Edgecombe County. Rowan County was formed from the western boundary of Orange in 1753. Counties formed from Orange were Guildford in 1785; Chatham in 1770 with a small portion of it taken to become part of Wake County in 1770; and in 1771 Caswell County was taken from Orange with Person County taken from Caswell in 1792. Deeds are GREAT source for genealogical research due to the many and varied family members that are mentioned. Not only will the reader find the deed transaction itself, but often times such things as: occupations, marriages, relinquishment of dower, divisions of family farms among heirs, current and/or former residences, remarriages of widows are just a few of the matters you can anticipate finding within records of deeds.

By: Wlliam D. Bennett, Pub. 1992, Reprinted 2018, (Grants 501-1000), 164 pages, Index, ISBN #0-89308-969-9.Orange County was formed in 1752 from Granville, Johnston and Bladen counties. Orange County lay within the Granville Proprietary. After John Earl Granville died, the land office closed in March 1763. Between 1763 and 1777 it was not possible to gain title to vacant land because there was no one to grant it. When the state opened its land office in 1777, entry takers were selected in the various counties; persons who swore allegiance to the State were then entitled to land at 50 shillings per 100 acres, The entry taker recorded the amount of land, the nearest watercourses, natural boundaries, and adjoining property owners; if in three months no one made a claim for the land, the claimant took a copy of the entry and warrant to the surveyor who then laid off and surveyed the tract., providing two copies of the plat. Sworn chain carriers assisted the surveyors. The paperwork was then forwarded to the Secretary of State, and grants were issued twice a year: in April and October. The grantess had tweleve months to register the grant, or it became void. The authors have abstracted the grants to include: grant number, name of grantee, patent book citation, date of entry, date of issue, entry number, name of grantee, acerage with metes and bounds description, date of survey, name of surveyor and chain carriers, and a facsimile of the plat.

By: William D. Bennett, Pub. 1990, Reprinted 2019, Index, 8 1/2" x 11", soft cover, 94 pages, ISBN #0-89308-994-X. In this important volume are abstracts of surviving loose papers from the Granville proprietary Land Office concerning Orange County. These papers include Entries, Warrants to the Surveyor and Surveys. Over a thousand documents concerning land in present Wake, Caswell, Person, Orange, Durham, Allamance, Chatham, Rockingham, Guilford, Randolph, and Stokes Counties have been abstracted. These records cover the period from the formation of Orange County in 1752 until the closing of the Granville Proprietary Land Office in 1763. The information from the papers in the Granville Proprietary Land Office may be the date of entry with a rough description of the land including the waterway and names of neighboring land owners, the warrant, the survey with names of chain bearers, sometimes the date the deed was issued, and any assignment that may have occurred along the way. What this does is place people in a particular place at a particular time up to forty years before the first census and prior to the Revolution. The Index contains more than 1,500 names.

By: William D. Bennett, Pub. 1988, Reprinted 2019, 8 1/2" x 11", soft cover, 184 pages, Index, ISBN #0-89308-995-8. These are the so-called "Granville Grants" from the Secretary of State Land Grant Office (held by the NC State Archives) for the original Orange County area, including what became Chatham, Caswell, Alamance, Person, and parts of Guilford, Rockingham, Randolph, and Wake Counties. A detailed introduction by George Stevenson, supplemented by the editor's research, explains what the Granville Proprietary was and the records created by it's Land Office. In his abstracts of the deeds, Mr. Bennett has included the metes and bounds description, the neighboring land owners, the surveys and plats with the names of the chain bearers and facsimile copies of the signatures of the grantees and the witnesses. This volume provides the at-home researcher with all the information to be found from examination of the original documents. There are 428 of these grants, of which less than 50 appear in surviving Orange County Deed Books. Since this is the one place where the researcher is apt to find his ancestor's signature (many wills and deeds not having survived), it is particularly convenient for the researcher to have a reproduction of the signature with the survey, plat, and abstract of the deed. The author has also included a notation as to the Patent Book and Deed Book where the grant is recorded. The format of this particularly useful book is pleasing. because of its size and location, Orange County is a pivotal county in tracing North Carolina lineages.

By: William D. Bennett, Pub. 1989, Reprinted 2019, 8 1/2" x 11", soft cover, 160 pages, Index, ISBN #0-89308-996-6. This book continues the publication of metes and bounds descriptions of the original so-called "Granville Grants" fro the Secretary of State Land Grant Office (hel by the NC State Archives) for the original Orange County area, including what later became Chatham, Durham, Caswell, Alamance, Person, and parts of Guilford, Rockingham, and Randolph Counties. Because Mr. Bennett has included the surveys and plats as well as the signatures of grantees and witnesses, the user has at hand all the information from the original. Mr. Bennett has also included, courtesy of the British PRO, the "Plan(that) sheweth part of the Southern Boundary of the Lands Granted the 17th day of September 1744 by his Majesty King George the Second to the Rt. Honble. John Lord Carteret, now Earl Granville, as the same was laid out and marked in the Months of March and April 1746 by Eleazer Allen, Matthew Rowan, William Forbes, and George Gould, Esqrs." One of the fascinating things about this map is that it clearly shows the southern Granville line to have been run as far west as Rocky River in 1746 when all the published histories say the line was not extended taht far west until 1766. Mr. Bennett has presented the deeds and surveys with his usual expertise, and the volume is a MUST for anyone working in the vast are of original Orange County.

Planning, Implementing, and Evaluating Targeted Communication Programs

Planning, Implementing, and Evaluating Targeted Communication Programs

William D. Crano; Gary W. Selnow

Praeger Publishers Inc
1987
sidottu
This book is well documented, well written, well researched and is up-to-date. It is non-sexist. It is more than a `manual for business communicators.' It is more than a book of `how to's.' And it is more than a book of do's and don'ts. The authors and contributors skillfully draw upon a broad range of social sciences literature and their personal communication experience, both of which make this book invaluable in our understanding of the relationship between communication theory and practice. Beyond that, they offer clear guidelines for effective public communication. Public Relations Review This book discusses the strategy of targeted communication and explains the steps necessary to plan and implement an effective information program. Selnow and Crano both place their recommendations in a communication theory and research perspective and show them to have practical application in real-world programs. They deal not only with the how to's, but with the why's as well.

"There's a Pony in Here...Somewhere" is a collection of vignettes and observations concerning Bill Turner's family, friends, business career, and spots visited over eight decades. A father had twin boys and was concerned that one was a strong optimist, but the other a constant pessimist. With Christmas coming up, he thought he would try to dampen their extreme behaviors. For the pessimist, the father filled a big box with toys of all sorts-electronic games, model airplanes, even an iphone. He filled the optimist's box with horse manure. On Christmas morning, the boys came down to open their presents. The pessimist opened his box, took out all the toys, but then quickly and carefully put them back in the box and closed it up. When asked what was wrong, he told his father "I'll end up breaking or losing them all in a few days." Meanwhile, the optimist, having opened his box, was scooping out the horse manure, slinging it all around the room and all over his pajamas. "What are you doing?" the father asked, and the son responded, "This is the best Christmas ever-there's a pony in here somewhere " 6 x 9", 302 pg., color, paper bound
