Anyone descended from the Polk County, NC Arledges--but especially those of you descended from LEVI ARLEDGE (1813-1901)-- will want to take a look at the brand new information I have just uploaded to the web site at: http://www.geocities.com/heartland/prairie/8208/leviestate.html These are papers regarding the estate of Levi Arledge that I found in the loose estate files in the NC Archives in Raleigh, and I've transcribed them as accurately as possible. I don't believe that these papers have ever been made public before. There are many other family names mentioned from Polk, Henderson, Rutherford and Spartanburg counties, including FOSTER, GOWAN, CANTRELL, MORRIS, EMERY, ATKINS, CONSTANT/CONSTANCE, McGRAW, McKINNEY / McKINNA, MAHAFFEY, GOSSETT, SHIPMAN, CARNEGIE, BURGESS, WILLIAMS, TURNER, ROBERTSON, JONES, HILL, SMITH, JUSTICE, etc. Be sure to look for alternate spellings, since I maintained the spellings as they were written (and they vary considerably!).
