James³ [son of Henry²], his brother Benjamin, and their nephew William, either migrated or had descendants who migrated to Rutherford County, NC. Searches for those lines must include southwestern North Carolina because old Rutherford County was a very large area and records could be in almost any county seat west of Charlotte. Searches of the area should also include northern counties of South Carolina.

See North Carolina in 1780 for view of old Rutherford County.
