The website for the USGenNet North Carolina webpage gives the county formations for all NC counties including Mecklenburg. Go to www.usgennet.org (or .com, can't remember) and click on the state pages then North Carolina, then there is a link on the main NC page for County formation. They show maps for about 10 or 20 year incriments so you can see the formation take place. Erin Bradford eabradfo@unity.ncsu.edu
