My Family Lines

All my lines were already situated in the area southeast of Charlotte, NC, (Mecklenburg Co, Union Co. in NC, and Chesterfield Co. in SC) by the time of the Revolutionary War, 1776, except for the HAYWOOD line, my father's line, which begins in Lincoln Co, NC, in 1830.  All the other lines are pretty well filled out back into the 1600s and 1700s.    I am devoting most of my time investigating the HAYWOOD line, and this is where my "brick walls" are.   My direct lines did not pick up and go to Tenn., Indiana, Georgia, or "out west" like so many did. They more or less stayed put once they got into this area.   Some  of the PARKERs did go to Georgia in the early 1890s, but that's a story for another time.  I would appreciate any information, hints, FACTs!!, about any of these lines within this area.  I would love to collaborate.
