DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The History of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod and Ministerium of North Carolina, in Commemoration of the Completion of the First Century of Its Existence The history of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of North Carolina naturally begins with the history of the first Lutheran Settlements in that wilderness, then but recently vacated by the Indians, now known as the Piedmont section of North Carolina. Early records of colonization are few, difficult to find, and, when found, meagre in the narrative of facts that we most desire to know. But careful research makes it tolerably certain that the first German settlements in the Piedmont section were made in those localities now known as Rowan and Cabarrus Counties, about the year I747. 3' Saunders' Colonial Records state that, in the year I755, Governor Arthur Dobbs Visited these localities and found twenty two families of Germans and Swiss, who had settled there some seven or eight years previously, that is, about I747.
