Indexers often make the mistake of interpreting the 1800 census records of “Hillsborough District” in Orange and neighboring counties as referring to residents of the town of Hillsborough. It actually means that the person lived in a section of his county which was under the jurisdiction of Hillsborough District Court in that time period.
Hillsborough District was not part of Orange (or ________) County. Instead, counties were a part of the Hillsborough District. In 1755 NC created five District Superior Courts throughout the state. The District Superior Courts were discontinued in 1806 when individual counties were allowed to have Superior Courts.
