I am glad to see you here. It is always good to have someone with your knowledge and generosity around. You were so helpful to me on the Lanarkshire website. This site has great people on it also. I am looking through some of my Anson Co., NC books and will let you decide whether or not the following is a keeper or not. In my ANSON COUNTY,NC ABSTRACTS OF EARLY RECORDS, there is, on page 138, Oct. 23, 1783, a petition was circulated to fix a new place for a courthouse, and a William Booth signed it. (Maybe an uncle?). If I run across anything, I'll post it. Joanne Harley North Carolina
