Hi Sam... : )

Could it have had something to do with the Gold Rush?
I haven't come across any history of Bladen and Robeson having a mine but Moore Co. definitely did.

I have documented the migration of several families in western Bladen and
adjoining eastern Robeson counties into Moore County from the mid 1830's to
the 1840's. Does anyone know what was the attraction during that time
period.

Thanks.
