      "The Catawbans, Vol 1: Gary Freeze, 'Grafters of a N.C. County,' p. 87. The most transient of all Catawbans were the mulattoes, whose mixed race and free status earned the enmity of most whites in the Piedmont. There were only a few mulattoes in the 1850 Census. Most of them were women. None owned land. Most of them did not even have family present. Often free women of color lived near one another and took housework jobs. Barbara Clodfelter, age 10, lived with tenant farmers Marcus Bost and his wife Nancy. Next door to the Bosts live Mark Keener, 17, who worked for the Thomas Witherspoon family. Next door, Rachel Hartzook, 45, worked as a servant for the Jacob Setzers in eastern Catawba."

    "SW portion of Lincoln/Burke County Land Grants

    From the NW portion of current Catawba County and extending into the area of current Connelly Springs, in Burke County was property owned by Joseph Berry and his extended family. Eastward to the area of Conover, was the property of Devault Hunsucker. On a southward line is the SE boundary of the map, near present East Maiden. The properties westward were the the lands that were first settled in Catawba County. They lie at the juncture of Jacob Fork and the Henry River--the point at which the South fork of the Catawba River begins. This is the geographic center of those who settled in the land, "West of the Catawba."
