Abstract:

Continuing his travels to North Carolina's counties, Goerch visits Martin County. The county was established in 1774 and was named for Josiah Martin, the state's last Royal Governor. The land is superior for farming. The oldest Primitive Baptist Association in the state is located there. The county has been the home of many distinguished North Carolina families.
