It is located in the Northeastern corner of the state bordering Virginia. It is surrounded by the counties of Camden, Chowan, Hertford, Pasquotank, Perquimans counties N.C. and by Nansemond County, VA. The word Slaves in this title, is something of a misnomer. There are numerous free men and a number whose descriptions more closely fit those of Native-American than African American ancestry. All are indexed under WORKERS. Through these records were created in Gates County, NC, the large majority of the workers, and their employers or owners, were from Nansemond County, Virginia. Their ages ranged from 8 to 72 years.
