Hello All, If you have not looked at this site yet, http://www.rootsweb.com/~nccatawb/ and you're searching NC, you really ought to go look..... especially go click on the left column where it says county formation and take a look at the great maps from 1700-1912 that Derick Hartshorn has put together (thanks Derick). This has been a huge help to me in trying to understand just where some of my ancestors were from census to census. I wish all states had such maps available on line. Audrey Orlando, FL

Jehoiakim McJocktin, per act of Congress of 26th March, 1790 120 ..... ***** >From the Richmond Gazette of August 31. A Caution to the Public, A YOUNG and genteel looking Frenchman, professing himself a warm Aristocrat, and claiming high blood, took up residence for some days past in the principal tavern in this city. During this time he lived in the most luxurious and voluptuous manner, and so far infatuated himself in the good graces of the boarders and other, that he borrowed clothes and money from several under the premise of returning them on the arrival of his servant; at length, on Monday morning, his patience being exhausted, he decamped a la fourdine, and was on that day seen on his march on foot to Petersburg, supposed on his route to Charleston. He wore a blue coat lined with scarlet, the other parts of his dress he will have an opportunity of varying as he made sufficient provision for that purpose here. He is in stature about five feet ten inches, well made, walks very erect, and of a darkish complexion, has passed under different names, principally St. HELEIRE. (The same person left this town about the 1st inst. for Edenton, from whence he took a French leave, afther tarrying a few days;- having been guilty of similar shameful practices both here and there as those above described.) ***** RESPECT TO RULERS. A RESPECT to rulers is the virtue of a patriot; but it ought to have its limits. If it degenerates into blind fervility and extravagant flattery, it injures the cause of liberty, and degrades the character of freemen.... ***** To the Officers of the late Continental Line of the State of North- Carolina. GENTLEMEN, I CONCEIVE it my duty through the channel of this Gazette to advise you, that there are in my possession, a Circular Letter from the Committe[sic] of the late Continental Line of the state of Massachusetts, and other papers of an important nature to the interests of the old Continental Army, - one of the principal objects of which is, to solicit our concurrence with the measures they, as well as the Officers of the other states, have thought advisable to pursue, to obtain a discharge of a just debt yet due the Continental Army, and unprovided for by Government, to which no other persons, can have any pretence, founded in reason and justice, but the late soldiery of the same. In pursuit of this object I can imagine no other method so likely to answer the end, as the Calling a Convention of Officers, to hold [consideration so?] the papers aforesaid may [be rescinded?]. You are therefore requested to appear [at the?] Wake Court-house, on the 8th of November next, when I propose the honour of having before you those [intended?] communications. Give me leave to observe, that those papers came to me on a supposition that I was the next senior Officer of the Line to Gen. CLERK, to whom they were first presented, and who directed that they should be transmitted to me, as the misfortune of his blindness prevented him from using those exertions that his disposition prompted. Hearing tha Gen. ARMSTRONG is dead, I concluded the urgency of the occasion required dispatch, and have therefore adopted this method. I am, Gentlemen, With sentiments of esteem, Your most humble servant, H. Murfree. Murfreesborough, Sept. 4, 1792. [end of excerpts]
