First Families of
Chambers County, AL

 


This book provides family sketches and genealogical information on the first families to settle in Alexander County, NC. The earliest settlers date back to the early 1700s. William E. White in an unpublished manuscript dated 1926 documented many of the early settlers. This book continues his work and corrects / updates it. It also includes an index which was not included in White's manuscript and organizes his notes into a more consistent narrative.

By the time of the 1850 census, Alexander County had 357 surnames listed. The First Families Project - Alexander, NC CD-ROM has surname folders on all of these families with notes we have gathered in our research over the years. This volume focuses on the families which were apparently in the area as early as 1750.
