JIM: The surnames of 1902-1910 influx of North Carolina People, Adair Co., KY

An influx of "North Carolina People," in the land above the river, in the first decade of the 20th century, brought some outstanding families to the area of Roley, Knifley, and Pellyton - now scattered throughout Adair County and beyond. They include the families with surnames: Barr, Calwell or Caldwell, Caudill, Chapel, Eastridge, Lewis, May, Phipps, Richardson, Sapp, Scott, Tedder, Wood, and possibly others

First Search for "North Carolina People" in Northern Adair County, KY

I did a very cursory scan of just the Pellyton precinct of the 1910 Adair census and found a a few more Tarheel families:

- Robert L. & Allie Sapp both born NC; two oldest kids born NC, last two born Ky.
- James W. & Matilda Sapp; they and all kids (youngest 11 yrs) born NC.
- William W. & Laura M. Sapp, both born NC; all kids (oldest 6) born Ky.
- Mary Parson (widow), she & both kids (youngest 19) born NC.
- Solomon & Nancy Richardson, both born NC; several kids, all born NC (youngest 11 yrs old)
- William M. & Sarah Tedder, they & all but youngest child born NC. (They apparently arrived Ky. about 1908).
- May families (Norman O. & Hattie; William R. & Addie M.; Charles E. & Elizabeth) Next door neighbors to each other; it appears that Norman, Wm. R, and Charles were brothers, all b. NC. & all in their 20s. Wife Hattie born Ky., the other two wives born NC.
- James S. & Martha J. Scott, they & all kids (youngest under 4, it appears) born NC.
- Harrison & Ma-----ia Calwell, they and kids (youngest 11) b. NC.
- also Tedder families (I didn't check to see how many families)
