| In 1746, when Granville Co., N.C. was formed from Edgecombe, St. John's
Parish was created, including all of Granville Co. In 1761, Granville Co.
was divided into two parishes, the western part becoming Granville Parish
and the eastern part remaining St. John's. In 1764, the whole of St. John's
Parish, the eastern part of Granville Co., became Bute County and a small
part of Northampton Go., N.C. was added to Bute, in 1766. http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncbute/dbook-a/forward.htm |
