Wake Wednesday: From Southwest Wake County to Parts West

Today's special feature Wake Wednesday post comes from WCGS program chair, George Thomas. 

George has really dug deep to discover the westward migration of some early Wake County residents. Not only does his post represent hours of research, but includes the very useful results of the quick platting procedure that he shared with us in April of 2022. Members will find access to the "Presentation Plats" video and handouts in the WCGS Member area. 

His workflow is so easy to do and so useful to apply to any family mystery. George claims it is not perfect, but I find it very useful indeed. "Very useful" is a win when it provides as many clues to FAN (friends, associates, and neigbors) groups as you will see here!

Please go straight to George's post and enjoy the read:  DESIRES BEYOND THE MOUNTAINS
