Notes for Robert Beasley:

A general note regarding the formation of North Carolina Counties: In 1671, Albemarle County was divided into Carteret, Berkeley and Shaftsbury Precincts. In 1681, Carteret Precinct was divided into Currituck and Pasquotank; Berkeley was renamed Perquimans; and Shaftsbury was renamed Chowan. In 1739, all the precincts became counties. Bertie County was formed from Chowan in 1722, Tyrrell County was formed from Bertie, Chowan, Currituck and Pasquotank in 1729, and Washington County was formed from Tyrrell in 1799.

Robert Beasley, a resident of Albemarle County, signed a petition to King Charles II in June 1680.
