Morven township

Morven was named for a mountain in Scotland by its early inhabitants, Scottish settlers.
Morven was established in 1823 but destroyed during the Civil War.
When the railroad arrived two miles west of the original settlement, Morven was reestablished west of the original settlement in its present location along U.S. Highway 52 south of Wadesboro.

"The name of every person whose place of abode on the first day of June, 1870, was in this family."

The relationships of the family groups are not listed and for the purpose of adding these people to Geni, they will be added as family groups until they are able to be sorted and the correct relationships noted.
Many of these "families" include inhabitants who are denoted as "B" and "W" and I am expecting this will help many people break a Brick Wall in their own journey to discovering family not found before 1870. Myself included.

2. https://www.sosnc.gov/divisions/publications/kids_page_history#:~:t.... In the 1580s, the British established two colonies in North Carolina, both of which failed. In the 1600s permanent settlers from Virginia began to move to North Carolina, and it eventually became part of a British colony known as "Carolina." Many people believe that in 1775 North Carolina became the first colony to declare independence from Great Britain. After the American Revolution, North Carolina became the twelfth state of the Union. In 1861, North Carolina seceded from the Union and joined the Confederacy in the Civil War. In 1865, North Carolina troops surrendered, leaving the state to be brought back into the Union in 1868.
