Thanks, Linda, that is just what I wanted to know about the Catholic churches - even if it is negative for me in a way. Next question is about the above reference. In his "History of Rowan County", on page 120, Rumpole says a Joseph HARBIN was appointed Mayor of the Rowan County Minute Men by the Provincial Congress @ Hillsboro. I would like to know anything I can about that Joseph HARBIN, particularly if he could have been from SC. That is earlier than when our HARBINS arrived in Rowan, but a Quaker family that has "Joseph" running in it, was in Charleston & old Berkeley County c1700. I suspect he was from them. Would it be likely for that to be him? Do those early tax/census lists show a Joseph HARBIN who might have moved to Rowan? Were there any Quaker setlements in Rowan early on? Would someone be kind enough to check that reference page in the book and see if Rumpole footnotes the information? Full of questions, aren't I! Thanks to everyone for help.

Joan, There was a Joseph Harbin in one the Reason lines. I have been sorting out paspers to send to you. I have really gotten into a mess and more time consuming than I thought it would be. This is the first chance I have had to try to sort all records out and put where they belong. Betty G.
