My brother David found what a Prothonotary is, in reference to my posting
on ABSOLEM PACE today.

Dear Betty,

At http://www.county.allegheny.pa.us/protho/prowhats.asp is says "The
Prothonotary is the chief clerk of the Court of Common Pleas." More
details
are given there.

A researcher we contacted in Guilford Co., NC, found the following
reference to an ABSOLEM PACE:
Letters left in the Greensborough Post Office, 1829:
Absolem Pace, Prothonotor of Guilford County, (clerk of court)

In the paragraph about the Greensborough Post Office, 1829 regarding
ABSALOM PACE. Does this mean he never picked up his mail in 1829,
implying he died or left "town" around then? ABSALOM PACE, PROTHONOTOR
OF GUILFORD COUNTY (clerk of court). I don't know how to read this.
What is Prothonotor? Is that Clerk of the Court?
