Rowan County Wills and Estates
The first Europeans to enter what is now Rowan County came with the
Spanish expedition of Juan Pardo in 1567. They established a fort and a
mission in the native village of Guatari, believed to be located near
the Yadkin River and inhabited by the Wateree. At the time, the area was
ruled by a female chief the Spaniards called Guatari Mico. Rockingham
County was formed in 1753 from the northern part of Anson County. It was
named for Matthew Rowan, acting governor of North Carolina from 1753 to
1754.During 1770 the eastern part of it was combined with the western
part of Orange County to become Guilford County, North Carolina. In 1771
the northeastern part of what remained of Rowan County became Surry
County. In 1777 the western part of Rowan County became Burke County. In
1788 the western part of the now much smaller Rowan County became
Iredell County. In 1822 the eastern part of the still shrinking county
became Davidson County. Finally, in 1836 the part of Rowan County north
of the South Yadkin River became Davie County. Many of the Rowan County
records, wills, estates, etc. are intact. It is usually researched in
conjunction with Surry , Burke and Iredell Counties. Some of the
earliest settlers were: Henry Aginder, Erasmus Allen, Thomas Braly,
William Barr, Daniel Bates, Henry Bruner, William Bartholomew, Michael
Cove, Alex Carruth, Nathan Dicks, Hannel Edwards, George Erwin, Peter
Fox, Stephen Glandon, John Holmes, Robert Johnson, Peter King, Peter
Lawrence, Andrew Maden, Joshua Nichols, William Ogburn, William Porter,
David Rothera, and John Thompson.
