First of all, thanks to Derick for passing this along. Does anyone have proof for the relationships of the Lincoln Co. HINKLEs? I am interested because my GGG-grandfather's brother Jacob EDDLEMAN married Nancy HINKLE in 1813 in Lincoln Co. I have never seen any documentary proof of her parents, however, although Jacob HINKLE is a possibility. Jacob & Nancy EDDLEMAN are assumed to have gone to Maury Co., TN about 1815, where a Jacob EDDLEMAN appears on an 1817 tax list. The next accounting I have for them is their signing of a petition asking for a Lutheran minister to the NC Synod from Landers Creek, Wayne Co., Mo. in 1828. A Jacob HINKLE also signed. Jacob EDDLEMAN appears on the 1830 Wayne Co., Mo. census, and disappears thereafter. Wayne Co. records before 1897 have all burned in past courthouse fires, so I have no probate or land records for him. >Date: Wed, 12 Apr 2000 07:54:59 -0400 >From: "Derick S.

I received the following information from Martha Free of Duke Energy regarding my recent inquiry whether graves were moved when Lake Norman and Mountain Island Lake were created. Donna J. Johnson Charlotte, Mecklenburg Co., North Carolina, USA my url: <http://www.geocities.com/heartland/hills/1174> > Lake Norman was the first > of the Catawba-Wateree Project impoundments for which cemeteries were > relocated. Before 1959, the Federal Power Commission (now the Federal Energy > Regulatory Commission) did not require cemetery relocations for impoundments for > electrical generating facilities on navigable waters. For this reason, we have > no cemetery records for Mountain Island Lake, which was constructed during the > period circa 1920-1923. > > For the Cowans Ford/Lake Norman project (1959-1963), agents, under the aegis of > Duke Power Company's Real Estate Department, surveyed all known cemeteries in > the impoundment area.

Does anyone know where the ODOM family came into the Lincoln County area from? I have always wondered why my great grandfather had the name "Jordan Odum Underwood." I cannot find any kind of connection. I know that a branch of the Lincoln Co Odoms intermarried with Younts and moved to Tennessee where they then intermarried with a branch of my husband's family. Anyone researching ODOM? Sherrill

Virginia Do you have the names of any of those families? Is there any reference source that might have lists of some of the families that migrated from Virginia into South Carolina and then north to Rutherford County, North Carolina?

My folks went to South Carolina from either Virginia or eastern North Carolina (Newberry, Fairfield, Spartanburg counties) and then to present day Rutherford/Polk County areas. There are several families, related and unrelated in this movement. We're talking around 1800 from South Carolina to North Carolina. Virginia Green

Hi, 1860 Cherokee Co., NC Census Need a look up on A. G. Hunsucker, Murphy Dist., p. 482. Thanks, Joy

In support of Derick's response regarding a possible migration from the NE coastal area of NC, there were several waves of migration into the Old Tryon region. Most of those came, as Derick said, down the valley of Virginia from MD-PA-VA, or from PA, etc down through Fredericksburg, VA to the present Winston-Salem area and on to Salisbury, then across the river. A somewhat later migration of some importance was from Granville Co, NC. I know of no mass movement from the NC coastal areas into the Old Tryon area, though a few may have wandered over. Sherrill

There was a major migration of families from northeastern NC and southeastern Virginia as early as the 1760's, 1770's and then after the American Revolution. Many of these families settled in Rutherford and Cleveland Counties. Others settled in eastern Catawba County in the Rehobeth Church community. The counties of origin for many of these migrants included in NC: Halifax, Orange, Guilford, Northhampton and in Virginia: Mecklenburg is the only one I remember. I have never researched these families but others who have include John Smith of Newton, Miles Philbeck of Chapel Hill, and Mills Y. Bridges of (I think) Chapel Hill area. I feel sure there are others on this list who could help you more. I also suggest that you post this on the Rutherford and Cleveland lists, if you did not do so. These settlers came in family groups as did many of our early settlers during migration. Some came almost as church groups. I hope this will give you some places to look.

Although we believe Henry and Nancy Meachum were, by 1813, living in Anson County, North Carolina, their son, William Smith Meachum, in that year married Martha Winfree in Wake County (witness Clerk of Court B. L. King and surety John Smith of Wake County). In Wake County Superior Court, in 1793, Henry Meachum apprenticed our ancestor, Nathaniel Meachum/(later Mitchum), an orphan of 13 years of age. In 1798, Nataniel "Mechum" witnessed an Anson County deed from Charles West to Henry "Mechum" (along with Buckner Nance, a son-in-law of Charles West). By 1801, Nathaniel Mitchum, in nearby Lincoln County, married Jemima Reynolds and raised a family of 13 children before he died there in 1838. For many years, we have sought identity of the parents of Henry Meachum, born 1766, died (also in Anson County) in 1836, suspecting parents of Henry, 1766-1836, could be the same as parents of Nathaniel, 1780-1838, or could lead us to knowledge of parents of Nathaniel, 1780-1838. A 1793 Wake County Tax List shows Henry Meachum owned 100 acres of Wake County land, and that Richard Smith (whose listing appears immediately below that of Henry Meachum) also owned 100 acres of Wake County real property; however, we have been unable to ascertain when, or to whom, either Henry Meachum or Richard Smith sold or otherwise disposed of this land. At the time B. L. King was Clerk of Wake County Superior Court (when William Smith Meachum was married there in February 1813), there was a Justice of that Court named Richard Smith; however, we have been unable to determine if this Richard Smith was the same Richard Smith as was father of Nancy Smith who was married to Henry Meachum, above. [Father of William Smith Meachum, husband of Martha Winfree, daughter of Charles and Anney (Anna) Winfree, presumably, in 1813, residents of Wake County.] Any insight -- or leads -- into the backgrounds of any of these three family genealogies will help to solve a mystery of long standing.
