In the early part of the eighteenth
century large numbers of imigran ts f'o ur ... d
their way into the r ... orthern s e t t Lemerrt s of
New Hanover Co ur.t y, Nor th Carolina. An.ong
them were people from England, France, Ire
lar ... d , Scotland and the Color ... ies fs.r the r
north on the Atlantic ~eauoard. In some
instances there were whole colonies which
came together from their former country
homes. These were often Linspeople of
those who had freely intermarried and were
in full sympathy of interests.
The following were among the family
names in the Barrels citore section in early
times:- Herring, ITewton, Hufham, Bland,
r.ogers, Highst.ith, Newz i r k , Stallings, Buxton,
'.filliams, Wells, Pe nne L, Hall, Lat this, ... -..lder-

from South Jersey to this section of Horth
Carolina. One colony went from Cape Uay to
lockwoods Folly in Burnswick CouLty. There
