Most of the time, I delete--without reading--gatewayed messages, and I have certainly deleted all those requesting someone's obituary. Gateway messages require my jjumping through hoops, which, at my age, I do not do. Does anyone have questions about the EARLY days of old Rowan Co., which was practically ALL of western North Carolina? I invite all to take a look at this URL. Remove any dashes or parens which rootsweb adds to the address. _http://www.mynorthcarolinagenealogy.com/nc_maps/nc_cf.htm_ (http://www.mynorthcarolinagenealogy.com/nc_maps/nc_cf.htm) About Rowan Co., the Family History Library catalog on _www.familysearch.org_ (http://www.familysearch.org) [Place search] says this Rowan County was established in 1753 from Anson County. Some of the records were destroyed by Federal troops in 1865. County seat: Salisbury. I will add: Many counties were formed from old Rowan Co. So refer to the map.
