Raymond:

FROM: The History of Fines Creek, by Lucy FERGUSON

http://www.finescreek,org/past/html

"Fines Creek Township in Haywood County, North Carolina is located in the northern part of the county."

"Flourishing settlements in Fines Creek were made before the beginning of the nineteenth century. Among the earliest settlers were Davis RUSSELL, Hughey ROGERS, JOHN RAY, and John PENLAND.

...................John RAY came from Wilkes County and occupied a large grant on Panther Creek a year or two before the settlements in that section were made...................

These four men at one time owned most of the land in Fines Creek Township."

You Have Footprints!!!
