This book provides family sketches and genealogical information on the first families to settle in Alexander County, NC. The earliest settlers date back to the early 1700s. William E. White in an unpublished manuscript dated 1926 documented many of the early settlers. This book continues his work and corrects / updates it. It also includes an index which was not included in White's manuscript and organizes his notes into a more consistent narrative. Throughout White's work there are references to other material and appendices which he evidently intended to include in the final book. Generally these materials have not been found, but where we have looked for the particular item, we will reference it in this edition.
