Harnett County NC Courthouse in Lillington burned in October 1893, destroying most of the records generated since its formation in 1855. Will Book I includes many re-created and re-recorded wills. While it states "1885-1909" and "1915-1935" there are many earlier ones. In addition, I have added information from census, death certificates, cemetery readings and obituaries.
