Summary

Part of the Iredell County One Place Study

Mildred J. Miller's Map of Early Iredell Settlers, dated 1988 copy and details furnished by Donald Anderson

Mildred Jenkins Miller (1932-2011) went to the Rowan County Library, History Room and there worked with Gretchen Whitt, the local history librarian and Mildred read, studied all land deeds of land that fell in Iredell County after 1788. She then went to the Iredell Register of Deeds and worked with those ladies and their digitized land the early land deeds of land that adjoined land that was originally registered in Rowan County. By reading these various deed she was able to learn who a specific deed's described land joined. By doing this she was zeroing in on a refined geographic area where this specific early setter's homestead was located, considering those that adjoined and waterway and their course as described in the deed.

The map was layed out into sections in order to see and find the locations. Below are the current images for this map.

The map section reference for John McHenry needs to be changed from B2 to E2. He is the John immediately next to Archibald on that section. I tried to fix it, but I don't think I have editing privileges on this page. Can you update that for me?

On the map it shows Archibald and John McHenry next to each other in section B2 neither are on E2. Henry McHenry is shown in section E4.

There's no image for the B2 quadrant on this page, so I don't know whether John and Archibald also had land in B2, but they definitely both did have adjoining tracts that appear on the E2 quadrant - that image is here -- John & Archibald McHenry appear in the lower left, just above the Yadkin. However, the text index on this free space page shows Archibald in E2, which is correct, but it shows John McHenry as in B2 -- that is what needs to be changed to E2. If you have a copy of the B2 image (or any of the other missing quadrants), I would love to see those too, especially if John and Archibald also appear in B2.

Just because there's no individual image for B2 doesn't mean you can't see the names on the big map. I imported the map into Illustrator so I could see the names very clearly.

E2 - The name listed on the map above Yadkin is John Archibald. No McHenry in this quadrant.

E4 - Henry McHenry next to McHenry's Bridge.

B2 - John McHenry and Archibald McHenry

Thank you, that explains it. Thanks for uploading the additional images.

No problem. I had to download a pdf I found elsewhere and import it into Illustrator. The line boundaries might be a bit off from the large map but it's close enough. The pdf didn't have the quadrants marked so I did my best. I'll work on the others that don't have a quadrant image.

Great work by Mildred and Gretchen. Mildred helped me tremendously in my family research. I miss her greatly. She and Irene Black were the backbone of the Genealogical Society of Iredell County.

Is there a way to request a digitized image of the map that is missing? I have a client with ancestors on Old House Creek, D5. Is the map accessible to the public in Iredell?

Honestly, I'm not sure if you can request the missing image. Sorry!

There was more than one Joseph Wasson living in this area. The chart is linked to Joseph Wasson (abt.1718-abt.1794) who lived on Fourth Creek and probably should instead be linked to Joseph Wasson Sr. (1744-1822) who lived on Snow Creek.
