Incorporated 1899 as Union City, name changed to Ashpole, 1901; and to Fairmont, 1907" (# 31) 3. Do you have any info on Ashpole Swamp?

(# 31) These people are researching the same family and the lookups that I've done for them for three years are archived on both Bladen and Duplin County websites. Check there for all the information first and then get back to me. I don't keep any lookups after I do them or I would be more than glad to supply them all.
