Can anyone tell me when Mecklenburg County was formed? And what counties it was formed from? Time frame? I am working on that area to see if any of my ancestors might have conducted business in that county. Thanks, Brenda
According to J. B. Alexander in his book, the history of <i>Meckleburg County, (NC), 1740-1900</i>, there were few settlers before 1740 and the eastern, southern, and western boundaries of Mecklenberg County were marked off in 1762. The northern or northwestern boundary was not marked off, the idea being to wait and see where it would be settled up. Apparently, it was not carved out of any other counties since the author does not mention any adjoining counties. ----- Original Message ----- From: tracers <tracers@imagin.net> To: <NCMECKLE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, October 21, 2001 12:24 PM Subject: [NCMECKLE-L] Formation of county? > Can anyone tell me when Mecklenburg County was formed?
