    1. Re: [RowanRoots] Gibsons in Rowan County
    2. You didn't say where this Buffalo Creek was. I'm away from home and my files right now, but I can tell you there were several creeks by that name in old Rowan, which was a large county encompassing all of NW North Carolina before the legislature started to create other counties out of it. You'll need to look at the dates of the grants or deeds, and compare those with the county divisions present at that time. IF this is the same Buffalo Creek that ended up being in Guilford County after it was created in 1771, then the nearest Presbyterian Church was Buffalo Presbyterian, organized 1756. South of there was Alamance Presbyterian Church, near Alamance Creek, in present-day Guilford, and north of there was Haw River Presbyterian Church, in present-day Rockingham.
