Message Board Post:
I'm interested in your connection to Polk Co. NC. My Cawthorne family was also in
southwestern NC, in the Mecklenburg Co. area which isn't all that far from Polk
County, but a couple of generations later if your ancestor there was born in 1700. I am
looking for parents of Nancy Catherine Cawthorne, who was probably born in the 1780s or
early 1790s. She married John Thompson, and their oldest documented child was born in
1809.
Do you have details of your Charles Cawthorne's migration path from England to Polk
County? Did he come via Essex Co. VA? and did he have descendants who stayed in NC
rather than moving to Mississippi?
