Lincoln County Wills and Estates
Lincoln and Wilkes Counties go together as places to search for
ancestors. The boundaries of old Wilkes County should be examined to
determine if any of that land fell into
Lincoln County, paying attention to the creeks mentioned in the deeds of
both counties. Lincoln County was created from Wilkes County on
February 20, 1796 by an Act of the General Assembly and was named for
General Benjamin Lincoln (1733-1810) of Revolutionary War fame. Lincoln
was in charge of the Continental Army's Southern Department and later
became President George Washington's first Secretary of War.
Maps were scanned in such a manner as to provide details for locating
creeks, branches, rivers, lakes, churches, schools and cemeteries. This
will enable you to better locate the old homeplace using the
description from old non-specific deeds. Also, a convenience in
locating both private and public cemeteries in the area. Lincoln and
Wilkes County records should be searched together.
