The Registers Office was closed from May l775 to January l777 due to the absence of governmental authority incident to the beginning of the Revolution. In 1758, Dobbs County was formed from the eastern portion of Johnston County. (Old) Dobbs included today's Wayne, Greene, Lenoir and small portions of several other counties.
