• Perquimans/Piney Woods Monthly Meeting, Carolina Yearly Meeting, Quaker Meeting Records, 1681-1935 on Ancestry. I only have a UK subscription so I can't view the actual image, but somebody with a US subscription could probably tell you if there is any more information on the actual record.

• There also appears to be some useful information in North Carolina Wills and Inventories in the will of Edmund Chancey, who I think is Chancey-41. Again you need somebody with a US subscription to see all the pages, but the small bit I can see shows why it is confusing - he leaves some land to his grandson Edmund Chancey son of Stephen Chancey, some other land to his grandson Edmund Chancey son of Jacob Chancey and yet more land to his grandson Edmund Chancey son of Zachariah Chancey. I guess they were all showing how much they loved their father by all naming their sons after him, but it really doesn't make things easy for us!
