    3. One correction. Guilford County did not exist in 1765. It started administration of its territory on 1 April 1771. The western 2/3 of it came from Rowan County, and the eastern 1/3 of it came from Orange County. So you would need to figure out where the family was living, through deeds or other records, to determine which county was their actual residence at the time. Just as a note in general: Few babies would have been born at a MM, and few people would have died there, so that's the source for the record, but not the place of birth. One needs to remember the difference between attendance at preparatory meetings vs. the MM's records. My husband's family had one person whose data was recorded in Cane Creek MM (NC), but who was in the census and deeds of Cumberland County, far to the south. You can deal with the issue of current location in various ways, including listing the county that had jurisdiction at the time and then add "now Guilford." *Katherine Benbow* * * *NCGenWeb Western Piedmont Regional Coordinator* * * On Tue, Mar 27, 2012 at 1:00 PM, Michael Wells <ufomike@gmail.com> wrote: > 18 May 1765, Guilford, NC.
