Forwarded from the Rowan Co [NC] email list; December 2, 2005 <[email protected]> ===================================================================== FROM GUILFORD CO., NC DIGITAL BITS AND ENDS LINK ---------------------------------------------------------------- The following people (mostly German speaking) were naturalized in the Superior Court at Salisbury, Rowan Co, NC in the 1760's. Many of these were residents of the western part of Orange County. It seems that Salisbury was more convenient that Hillsborough. There was probably less language barrier, also. There is a typed abstract of the minutes in the Rowan Public Library in Salisbury. This information came from that abstract. The spelling of names is as it was in the abstract. The comment in (parentheses) are from the typed abstract.
