I should point out that the Rowan County Register is not the official journal of the Genealogical Society of Rowan County. It was a separate journal done privately by Jo White Linn. Also, when you visit the Archives website, do a search for "Rowan" as well, and that will pull up the books available. I have caught some errors in Jo's work, so I'd advise checking photocopies of the original documents -- which we all should do anyway.
