North Carolina


 

 

     
  The last record we have of the Capshaw family in Maryland was 1757. We aren't sure where they went when they left Maryland but in 1767 Edward Capshaw is listed as the second chainbearer on a survey for James Nicholson on the Little Broad River in Mecklenburg County NC. In 1768 James Capshaw was second chainbearer on a survey on the French Broad River in Mecklenburg County North Carolina.

In 1769 Tryon County was formed from part of Mecklenburg County.
