>I notice that both Stokes and Guilford counties had a Salisbury District in >their 1790 censuses. Did this district encompass both counties? > Yes. The Salisbury district included a wide swath through central NC, including Guilford, Iredell, Mecklenburg, Montgomery, Rockingham, Rowan, Stokes and Surry Counties. Present-day Davidson, Yadkin, and Forsyth would also fall within this area. Elizabeth Harris [email protected] state coordinator for NCGenWeb: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncgenweb/
