Early Migration In, Across and Out of North Carolina

Many individuals and families migrated into North Carolina, especially in the colonial and pre-Civil War period. Depending on who was immigrating and when, different locales in North Carolina were hot spots for emigrants from abroad (including the Scots and Scotch-Irish) either directly or via Virginia, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, and beyond. Amongst other attributes, religious freedom made NC a popular place!
