The McCubbins collection is very extensive - however it is probably like no other research data that you'd find anywhere else. She collected information on all the families of Rowan County, NC - not just her own. This information was on sheets of paper, some typed, some hand written, front & back. On half pieces and torn pieces of paper - anything apparently she could get her hands on. There is sometimes several families on one page. This is housed in family file folders at the Rowan County library in Salisbury, NC. They have put the information in family folders by family name, making copies of pages that have more than one family on a page so that each family file has the information. It is not in any order, the data contains land deed records, marriage records, birth records, random family information, you name it....it takes some hunting to find things on your family and sometimes, often it is not what you are looking for but usually you find something equally interesting that you didn't know would be there. She had been planning to write a book and died before completing her work. It is a treasure but a treasure that requires a hunt...however often well worth it. The families included are all at one time residents of Rowan County - both early Rowan before the counties branched off and present day Rowan.
