"The history of a State, or a county," writes author J. B. Alexander, "is almost entirely the history of the people
who constitute the inhabitants." Indeed, Alexander devotes a substantial portion of his History of Mecklenburg
County from 1740 to 1900 to biographical sketches of former citizens of the county, often giving such information
as date and place of birth, parents' names, date of arrival in Mecklenburg County, education, profession, military
service, and names of spouse and children. Many of these Mecklenburg residents descended from the Scotch-Irish
immigrants who populated the early settlements of the county, which was formed in 1762 and originally
encompassed a large area that included what is now Union, Cabarrus, Gaston, Lincoln, Cleveland, and Rutherford
counties, as well as the upper portions of present-day South Carolina. Later waves of immigration brought settlers
from Maryland, Pennsylvania, Germany, and Ireland to the area.
