Buncombe County Probate Records
Buncombe county was formed in 1791 from parts of Burke County and
Rutherford Counties. It was named for Edward Buncombe, a colonel in the
American Revolutionary War, who was captured at the Battle of
Germantown. The large county originally extended to the Tennessee line.
Many of the settlers were Baptists, and in 1807 the pastors of six
churches including the revivalist Sion Blythe formed the French Broad
Association of Baptist churches in the area. In 1808 the western part of
Buncombe County became Haywood County. In 1833 parts of Burke County
and Buncombe County were combined to form Yancey County, and in 1838 the
southern part of what was left of Buncombe County became Henderson
County. In 1851 parts of Buncombe County and Yancey County were combined
to form Madison County. Finally, in 1925 the Broad River township of
McDowell County was transferred to Buncombe County.
