Nehemiah Oddle (sic) is listed on a County Commissions Certificates list.  Click here to see copies of the entire list.  Per the book used as a guide by the NC Archives staff, "North Carolina Research, Genealogy and Local History" (2nd Edition) by Helen F. M. Leary, C.G., F.A.S.G. Editor, page 375:
        Volume XI begins with a very useful series of nearly 3,000 claims for civil and military services rendered by North Carolinians from 1776 to 1780.  This portion comprises about one-third of Volume XI and is an incomplete version of one of the lettered volumes (Book B).  the remaining two-thirds of the book are disappointing in the extreme, for that portion reports only the name of the payee, the number of the voucher and the amount.  There is no heading to these accounts to explain what they were for; there is no date; there is no hint as to the geographical location. this portion of the Account Book may as well be a census of inhabitants of the planet Mars.

However, a careful study of this list shows many of the names (about 1/3) are familiar to Randolph County researchers as those men who settled on land now located in today's Randolph County.  Therefore, it is easy to conclude this is a list of Orange County, NC, County Commissioners.

N. Odle is listed on the bottom of this page.  Per the book used as a guide by the NC Archives staff, "North Carolina Research, Genealogy and Local History" (2nd Edition) by Helen F. M. Leary, C.G., F.A.S.G. Editor, page 374:
        Volume IX begins with an account of a specific kind of certificate.  In 1789, the General Assembly required all holders of original vouchers to surrender them to the treasurer before 1 January 1791 in exchange for new certificates.  This was an effort to reduce the state debt by devaluing the certificates - three new vouchers were issued for each old one.  Of the new vouchers, one was for one-third of the principal and was redeemable in cash at one-fifth face value; the second was for outstanding interest on the principal and did not itself bear interest; the third was an interest bearing voucher for the remaining two-thirds of the principal and could be used to pay state taxes or fees.  Geographic locations of recipients of the treasurer's new ce3rtificates are not indicated.  The remaining half of Volume IX is made up of accounts of certificates issued by fiscal district auditors or surrendered in payment of taxes and fees, and thus assists in geographically placing the payer.
