Date: 11/28/99 11:35:13 PM Eastern Standard Time From: cnorman@accessus.net (Colleen Norman) To: Frendlysky@aol.com Several years ago I found a copy of Lynch's Complete Map of Rutherford Co, NC. Lee W. Lynch, T. E. This map has 14 districts. The map was drawn in 1905 but I suspect that it may be a map from an earlier time period. I found it in the end papers of a book. Sorry I don't remember what book I found it in. I hope this helps. Collleen Norman [The handwritten legend in the lower left corner is as f ollows:] County History Meclenburg originated in 1762.
