Hi Murphey, The url you sent "cannot be displayed". York County was named for the York County, Pennsylvania settlers. It was formed in 1785 as part of Camden District. In 1791 York and its neighboring Chester County were realigned as part of Pinckney District. In 1800 almost all of the "counties" were made "districts" and in 1868 all of the "districts" were made "counties". You still with me? York is on the South Carolina-North Carolina border and from 1785 til 1850 York shared a line with North Carolina's Mecklenburg and Lincoln counties. From 1850 to 1878 York shared a line with North Carolina's Cleveland, Gaston and Mecklenburg counties and now it borders Mecklenburg and Gaston counties only. I certainly hope there will be no more changes for awhile. He may not have "moved" from Buncombe County to Haywood County - Haywood was formed from Buncombe in 1808 but the dividing line wasn't run and marked until 1830. I need to see the URL on Bonner Bird before I see what I have on him. Did you copy the information and can you cut and paste it to me? How is your FRIDAY line coming along?
