Does the deed list a creek? What were the names in the deed, including adjacent land owners? Roughly, about the western 70% of Guilford County came from Rowan County, and the eastern 30% came from Orange County. Deed records for both counties survive. The land may also have come from either Granville or McColloh Land Grants. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
