Abstract:
In this lengthy and well research article, the author bases his principal assertion on William H. Gehrke's UNC master's thesis from 1934, noting that in 1792, the Dutch side of Mecklenburg County was set off as Cabarrus. Theis new county in 1795 had 588 polls and from appearance the dominating majority of residents must have been German.
