Discovering the pioneer settlers of the Cumberland Highlands

Rowan, North Carolina, British America



 


Notes:
Rowan County was formed in 1753 from the northern part of Anson County, a vast territory with an indefinite western boundary. In 1770, the eastern portion was combined with the western part of Orange County to form Guilford County. In 1771 the northeastern portion of what was left became Surry County. In 1777 the western part of Rowan County was organized as Burke County.

After the American Revolutionary War, in 1788, the western portion of the now much smaller Rowan County was organized as Iredell County. In 1822, Davidson County was formed from an eastern section. Finally, in 1836, that part of Rowan County north of the South Yadkin River became Davie County,
