Griffin, Clarence W.

Abstract:

The Royal Governor of North Carolina patented in 1764 a tract of land to John McDowell on Cleghorn Creek near Rutherfordton. From that point Griffin recounts the history of the land, owners, and home constructions. Dr. John Cleghorn built the mansion, from the best evidence available, about 1837, or perhaps earlier.
