Irad S. Hightower, early Macon Co. NC
Irad S. Hightower was one of the earliest settlers of Franklin, Macon County, NC (settled abt 1820) and built the first "proper" house in the town. He was active in activities of the first county court. He sold his town lot in 1830 and may have moved soon afterwards. Would appreciate any information on this gentleman & his origins.
