Person County was first part of Edgecombe County in 1746. Later it was part of Granville, Orange and Caswell Counties. Person County was named after Brigadier General Thomas Person, a Revolutionary War patriot, who was later a trustee of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The county was settled primarily during the 17th century by persons from Scotland, Ireland, England, France (Huguenots) and persons of German origin. Another famous person, Lieutenant Colonel Stephen Moore, Deputy Quartermaster General of the Hillsborough district, also served during the Revolutionary War as the commander of the Person County troops during the Battle of Camden; later taken prisoner and put onboard the prison ship Torbay. His home known as Mt. Tirzah was built ca 1778 and remains upon its original site.
