Have you ever wondered where our forefathers came up with names of
towns? The "fertile crescent of America" Rowan County, NC was a
stopping over point to many thousands moving westward down the old PA.
wagon road. The moved farther westward thru Jonesborough, TN. on into
Union Co. IL. and guess what another town named Jonesboro. And on
farther west and south toward Texas. And guess what another Jonesboro,
AR. Has anyone done a study on where these town's name came from?
