I'd like to thank everyone for their replies to my posting on Capt. William Perkin's District. Every little bit helps in the search. I've also found a few more names that turn up in both William Perkins' District and in the Wilkes Co NC area. As David Payne points out, a few of these names also show up in Wilkes Co (and Franklin Co), GA. There are excellent on-line resources on Wilkes Co NC and other area counties along the New River at http://www.ls.net/~newriver/nrv.htm The New River History List at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ncnr/ also has some lively discussion of people in the New River area. I don't know how widespread migration was from the New River area, but it did make a significant contribution to the makeup of Pendleton Co.
