24 - 24 September 2021 | BAGS Monthly Webinar: Early Migration In, Across, and Out of North Carolina by Diane Richard | Virtual | |
Details: Join BAGS as Diane Richard presents "Early Migration In, Across, and Out of North Carolina" Many individuals and families migrated into North Carolina, especially in the colonial and pre-Civil War time period. Depending on who was immigrating and when, different locales in North Carolina were hot spots for emigrants from abroad either directly or via Virginia, South Carolina, Pennsylvania and beyond. As the state developed, resources were depleted, productive land was becoming more scarce, settlers considered it to be getting too crowded, and we see a pattern of western migration. This migration often did not stop at the state borders. Many families spent a few years, a generation or a few generations in North Carolina, often hopscotching across the state, east to west, before migrating to adjoining states and beyond. Let’s explore these years of migrating North Carolinians — the history of the times and the documentary trail left behind. Brief Society meeting prior to presentation. |
