My first known location for these folks is in North Carolina in the counties of Cabarrus and Rowan.  I'd really like to know where they came to there from.  If you have facts, or even theories, about this I'd love to hear them.  Any other comments and questions are welcome too.  Send an email to barnhardts@carolina.rr.com
