Hi, There is a place online with the information you mention. Thanks to the Catawba NCGenWeb county coordinator we have the use of a map that shows just that information. It is linked to from my Watauga Links page here: http://www.geocities.com/familysnooper/Wata_links.html It is in the second table and is called: NC County Formation, and that link takes you here: http://www.rootsweb.com/~nccatawb/countyfm.htm Down below the first map are links to other maps that show how the counties were at different times.
