I created additional resources during my research of "Cape Fear Sketches." Among them are

"Ante-bellum U.S. Customs Officers, Wilmington, North Carolina, 1790-1860" (June 2003). Available in the New Hanover County Public Library.

"The Thalian Association of Wilmington, N.C. (with sketches of the association)," by [James Green Burr], 1871. I created an index to this publication (August 2003). Available in the New Hanover County Public Library.

"New Hanover County, North Carolina, 1782 Tax Lists" (2008). Copies are available from the Old New Hanover Genealogical Society.

In addition I read through the files of the "Wilmington Chronicle" (1840-1851), the "Commercial" (1846-1850) and the "Tri-Weekly Commerical" (1850-1851), and created an index of articles that interested me. Since full-text images of these newspapers are now available, I have not included my eclectic newspaper indexing efforts here.
