This posting is a follow-up to my earlier posting regarding the Yearwoods/Earwoods, Arrowoods/Arwoods of western NC from 1778-1800.It seems as if the Arwood/Arrowood line is different from the Yearwood/Earwood group, but their proximity to each other and the association of the names as variations are striking enough to warrant further investigation.

Understanding that Burke, Lincoln, and Rutherford counties were all created from Rowan and Tryon counties, one can surmise that these families did not move around as much as it would appear.
I am convinced that 1778 Burke Robert Erwood is the same as 1800 Pendleton Robert Earwood based on a bond produced in Lincoln County Court of Pleas in 1809 that showed Hugh Brevard made title to a piece of land to Robert Earwood in October 1778.Robert shows up as making improvements to a piece of land owned by Hugh Brevard in Burke County in July 1778.Hugh Brevard obviously sold the piece of land to Robert in October 1778.Andrew Earwood also shows up in the Court of Pleas of Lincoln in 1806, which seems to be the Andrew Yearwood of Habersham County, GA.
Looking for any connections between Arwoods/Arrowoods and Yearwoods/Earwoods, as well as thoughts on conclusion of Robert being part of the Lincoln County crowd, being brother to William, Sr., Thomas, and John, all four of which possibly sons to John of Halifax.
What say ye fellow Yearwood researchers?Please e-mail or reply post with thoughts or questions.
