We are pleased to tell you that early Buncombe County slave deeds and co-habitation records have become available to the public on the Buncombe County website. The Register of Deeds office is very progressive and has made all kinds of vital records available publicly. They should serve as a great role model for other county offices who are debating whether to release their own genealogically significant county records. They have made a huge difference in helping descendants trace their families back to the earliest settlers of Buncombe County. What a great service!
