I want to Thank each and every one of you who sent me information on the dividing line of Warren County. I love this list. I don't think many people know that parts of Granville County was later annexed into the already Warren county that was formed from Bute County. My 5x Great-grandfather, Gulielmus Smith, moved to Granville Co., NC from Hanover Co., VA abt 1864-1865. He was commissioner along with others at that time and helped with that dividing line. He is found in court records Feb 1787 Court term, report of Commissioners for dividing line between Warren & Granville Counties. Beginning at Starks Mill On Anderson's Swamp, south to line formerly dividing afsd. counties. Commrs: JOHN MACON, JOHN WILLIAMS DANIEL, PLEASANT HENDERSON & GULIELMUS SMITH and BENJAMIN HAWKINS. Parts of Granville County were annex to Warren County after 2/1787. I would like to get a date that this went into affect. Was it the same year that it was purposed (1787) or maybe a year later? I do know that he is listed on three various Warren Co, Court Records for 1794, and three in 1795, one in 1796, one in 1810, and one in 1813. He is listed on the tax rolls in Warren Co. for 1811, 1812, and 1813. His Will is recorded in Warren Co, NC on May 10, 1814. He leaves a wealthy estate in NC when he dies. He owned three large plantations and 96 slaves when he died in 1814. At this time, this area of Granville was Warren County and then later it became Vance County, NC. Some time between 2/1787 and 1794, it was annexed to Warren County. Anyone have any ideas on this? Helen L. Smith Hoke (I chase dead people....and they are so far ahead of me, I'll never catch up. I think they're hiding under rocks.)
