    1. [NCLENOIR] County line changes
    2. Martha Marble
    3. Gloria and I are getting very frustrated. Does anyone know of a county line change between LEnoir, Craven and or Jones that involves Southwest Creek on the east end. At late as 1820's. We are finding frequent references to Southwest Creek in Craven Co as late as the 1820's yet I can't find a SW Creek in either Craven or Jones. There is nothing in the county formation book that mentions a change. THere are also indications it was SS of the Trent River and at no time does SW Creek appear SS of the Trent - at least today. I know that Daniel Simmons left his widow land on SW Creek (we think the homeplace) and then to his son Abraham. Daniel Simmons lived in Jones Co, his son Abraham appears on the Jones Census, Abraham's widow appears on the Jones Census, some of my cousins still own that land today and it is in LEnoir just before SW Creek flows into the Neuse River. We are trying to pinpoint where some of the Taylor families lived and a number of them were up and down SW Creek. Mine appear to be on the west side close to Deep Run. Abraham, Jacob and William and a John also had land on SW Creek and we can't figure out where. THanks. Martha
