William Churton - Colonial Surveyor of North Carolina

This book documents the amazing life history of an early surveyor in North Carolina. William Churton left London, to assist the newly formed Granville District Land Office - as a surveyor. Beginning in 1748, Churton will ultimately survey over 600,000 acres of land - before closing the Land Office in 1763; due to the death of Earl Granville. He was also founder of Hillsborough NC, surveyor and designer of Salisbury, and surveyed/extended the State Line with VA. A lot of western NC Moravian activity as well. This book precipitated the author to apply for a State Historical Marker - honoring Churton. It was approved by the State, May 2017. Marker to be erected in Hillsborough - late October or early November 2017.
