Many of the Revolutionary War soldiers from NC were granted land in Davidson Co., NC. Wilson Co. was formed from Sumner which was formed from Davidson. I would think many of the descendants of those who took the land grants or purchased them eventually settled in Wilson Co. I had read somewhere that these land grants encouraged settlement of the frontier, but also there were migrations to Davidson Co. prior to that time. Maybe someone could fill in that information.
