Hi, Carolyn,
The only one I've seen isn't online (which isn't much help, is it?). It's
one I bought at a gas station in Franklin on my last visit there in April.
The map was sponsored by the Franklin Area Chamber of Commerce and published by:

NOW WHAT DO I DO WITH ALL OF THIS STUF
In the 1870 Macon Co. census there is a John Freeman, 77 and an A. Freeman,
63. Also in Macon Co. marriages, I find a John Freeman who married ibby
Watson in 1838-witnessed by Allen Freeman. Can anyone tell me something
about these Freeman's? Would appreciate any help. Libby
Hi all -- I'm new to this list, and saw several surname postings, so thought
I'd post mine. My Macon Co. connections include: Kimsey, Strain, Reed,
Russel(l), Cathey and possibly McClure.
Also, have the Heritage Book of Macon Co. and will do look-ups, should anyone
need one.

Dear Folks,
Sorry about the redundant messages about subscribing. Poor eyesight and a
weakening mind.... Gotta read those headers more carefully and get rid of
my respond to all command in my mail program.

Hi,
Does anyone know where I can find a map of Macon County townships? I would
like to put one on the Macon History page.
Thanks,

Hey Folks -- My offer to do look-ups in the Macon County Heritage Book still
stands. However, I have a request. Several people have written and just
asked me to look up "John Doe" -- no other information. Please give me ALL OF
THE INFORMATION YOU HAVE, even if it's just approximate dates.
In many cases, even if a family isn't written up, there will be mentions in
other family write-ups. I'm perfectly willing to sift through these, but it's
time-consuming and I need all of the information I can get to h
Greetings all,
I have been on the road for about 2 months so I had to unsubscribe and
resubscribe. Hope I haven't missed too much. Thought I would repost my
surnames from the area and see if I can help or be helped by anyone. Here
goes:
HOLBROOK, MOORE, ROTEN, KILPATRICK, HIGDON, SETZER, BUCHANAN, BLACK, AND
STEWART.
If anyone has anything on these surnames I would love to exchange info.
Also check out my homepage on family treemaker to see if we make any
connections.

Just in case you missed it, I'm hoping that someone has a 1900, 1910, or
1920 census for Macon County for a lookup.
Also, was the area around Qualla part of Macon County in 1836. I'm trying to
remember if Macon or Swain came first. Or was it Jackson?
The focus of the lookup I need is Jerry Monroe Patterson who was born in the
Qualla Township in 1836. I am hoping a later census will show where his
father was born. I don't have a first name for his father, but I'm hoping it
will show a county of birth so th
Hi Phillip (and Macon County gang!),
I'm a Patterson researcher, and my Pattersons are from the same area. I've
been wondering about your Jerry Monroe Patterson for a long time. As far as
I can tell, he doesn't tie in with my Pattersons or any of the other
families I've been trying to document in western NC. If he was born around
Qualla in 1836, then that would have been either Macon or Haywood, depending
on exactly where he lived. This area became Jackson County in 1851, and
Swain County took alot of it i
Evening folks,
Anyone know the parents of these two?
Effie SHEPHERD
MARRIED: George Clingman RABY, 1919
Found them in Peggy Sue Hooper's Welch Database.
Here's another Shepherd I can't place (from the same database):
Elija A. SHEPHERD
MARRIED: Elizabeth Mary RICE, 1875
Finally, this one:
G. Patten SHEPHERD
MARRIED: Enaretta Adeline WELCH, 31 DEC 1865
I'm not sure that the last couple are Macon County folks, but just in case...
Finally, does anyone have a 1900 or 1910 Macon County cen
Dear Friends,
I just had to forward this for our own personal introspection and a good
laugh. It's just too true (well, in my case it gets pretty close...)

Phillip, I found some Patterson's in the Swain Co., NC Heritage Book. Not
sure they will help you out. But here is: Captain Sam Patterson of Union
County, GA. is listed as commanding officer of his company the "Union
Invincibles". Samuel was born in 1805 and was married to Jane Moore who was
born in 1815. Carroll Moore Patterson was the son of Samuel and Jane
Patterson. Carroll served in the Confederate Army. He was married to Lavina
Elizabeth Cathey Patterson. They came to Swain County close to the end o
