Abstract:

In Watauga County, Rich Mountain - 15 miles long and without a break - bears down directly from the north. About half way of its length, the ridge beings to bend toward the southeast, and then it terminates in a prominence known as Howard's Knob. At the other end is Tater Hill, a 5,194 foot mountain.

Abstract:

John Colleton was born in England in 1608, served faithfully during the Civil War for the royal cause, and was commissioned by Sir John Berkeley to raise a regiment. In late 1650 Colleton went to the Island of Barbados where he was described as a merchant, promoter, and financier. He was knighted in 1661 and obtained a grant from the King for land lying south of Virginia. A grant of land then known as Colleton Island is now known as Collington in Kitty Hawk Bay.
