Processioning records can be quite helpful in tracing ownership of land over time, by identifying neighbors, and by determining the general location of tracts. In some of the "burned counties" these may be the only record of a land transaction. Lands in colonial North Carolina were processioned ever three years to determine boundary lines of every landholder's property. These Processioner's were appointed by the vestry who were in charge of dividing the parish into precincts. These records cover Chowan County by the vestry appoints from St. Paul's Parish.
