Cathy, You might try getting the 1817 court documents on film thru the LDS. Of course, if you don't know the month his trial came up, you may spend a lot of time scrolling through the film. Or you could send a message to Vanessa Sterling in the Rowan History Room and see if they have the court documents on film. Her e-mail is: sterlingv@co.rowan.nc.us. If she finds anything, she can photocopy the film pages and charge you only $4 for up to 10 pages. She has found a lot of material for me.

I have he went to jail in 1817 in Rowan Co. Do not know if it was a city, county or state jail. He was not in the 1820 census. Anyone have any jail info for Rowan back at that time. Do not know why he went to jail either.. Thank you Cathy ______________________________
