The latest guest post from George Thomas has him mapping out the early settlers of Wake County. He has taken his presentation plat technique and applied it to the southwestern corner of Wake that was originally a part of Orange, Johnston and Cumberland counties. For history geeks like me, this is a joy to behold. The community of early Wake settlers as they were situated as neighbors and associates way, back when. I see many names I recognize mentioned in the Wake Cemetery Survey, c. 1978 including Etheldred Jones, Jesse Jones (!), Popes, Utleys, Hollands, Lanes, Olives, and so many more in addition to the Barker family that has been George's recent focus.
Early researchers of Wake County will want to click through to George's post to see the detailed list including early Granville Grants and NC Secretary of State Land Grants.
