Jim Deal & Others: I had seen the post on the Lincoln Co. Rootsweb referring to "The Bloody 8th District." When I was growing up over in Bedford County I had heard reference to "The Bloody 8th District" of Moore County. I did not realize it, but this is in "The Ridge " area. Do you have any references as to some of the things that took place for it to become identified as "The Bloody 8th"? Did this identity come after our ancestors early years or what? Thank you!
