Lauva,
I am afraid you need to check the area east of the Catawba River. You need
to check the lists such as Rowan County, Iredell County, Davie County,
Cabarrus County, Davie, Stokes, Surry, Randolph. This would be more of the
area where the persons you are searching for would be found. They might
have visited briefly in this area, but I have never seen any of their roots
in this area. I have known Stirewalts, and Ritcheys whom I consider friends
who had roots east of the Catawba River. The River has always been a great
divider, some good and some not so good.

You should be able to find volumes about these families in that area. The
best I can do is tell you to go EAST. You will not find them here. Tell me
if I am wrong.

Have a great day.
