I was born & raised in Cleveland County, N.C. as they say, and my late wife was from Statesville, Iredell County, N.C. and had roots in Alexander County, N.C. I have been researching Hollands and Jenkins in Cleveland & Rutherford counties.
Through her line I have been researching Echerds, Blankenships, Bowmans, Gwaltneys and related families. My photos and information has come about by the kind and generous donations of these families. For that reason everyone can share in the use of these photos as long as you do not share them with other online sites.Having inherited these photos, I only recently realized that I needed to share them with other researchers. I have access to two different cemetery surveys of Cleveland County - one is the 1939 WPA Survey and another between 1998 and 2003 by W.D. Floyd and others which also includes Rutherford County.
