Abstract:
Duke Power Company's new dam on the Catawba River will form the much anticipated Lake Norman. In an effort to save some of the heritage that will be lost, efforts were focused on moving one of the great houses of the antebellum period, the Elmwood house. Inhabited by the Graham family, members of the river gentry, the Elmwood House, now in the care of Mr. And Mrs. Charles Babcock, will be relocated to the Winston-Salem area.

Abstract:
Lord Granville, wealthy land owner in the North Carolina Colony, attempted to augment the population of the region by recruiting Moravian settlers. In response, August Gottlieb Spangenberg, also known as Brother Joseph, departed Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, on 25 August 1752, accompanied by five men, in search of a new settlement area in North Carolina. Returning to Bethlehem on 2 February 1753, Spangenberg was successful, having located an unclaimed tract of land encompassing approximately 100,000 acres, outside of Muddy Creek.
