I cut and pasted this from Harris-Hunters rootsweb. Please pass it along to interested parties. (My people came to Granville Co. ca late 1740s, but the counties kept dividing. Others were in Orange Co., later Caswell Co., and still others were in old Rowan Co. when it was *the wild west*) There's a good NC map set at http://www.rootsweb.com/~nccatawb/countyfm.htm The map displayed when you access this page shows the current counties. You can click on the links below to show the changing county boundaries over time. This is very useful in dealing with NC in the 18th and 19th centuries, since many counties were split up over time to form smaller units. E.W.Wallace
