William Sharpes map of Fourth Creek Church Members


The William Sharpe map of 1773 is housed in the Iredell County Public Library and is one of Iredell County's most important historical documents. The map was drawn in 1773 by William Sharpe and list all the families settled in the Fourth Creek Meeting House (now First Presbyterian Church area. The map names the people and shows where they were living in 1773 up to an eleven mile radius from what is now near the center of the present day city of Statesville.http://www.iredell.lib.nc.us/history/wsharpe.htm
See if you can located our grandfather, James McCreary and his brother, William on the map.
