The Register of Deeds maintains the record of Oaths administered to Notaries commissioned in Buncombe County. (Not on-line at this time) The record shows the date of the Notary Commission, date when the Notary's took their Oath of Office, and the Date the commission will expire. The signature of the notary is also entered in the record book.
