The Statesville Landmark 1913
DOBBS COUNTY, 10-26-1913

In The Statesville Landmark S? J. F. Murdock speaks of having found in an old 
Code of North Carolina a record of Dobbs County and wants to know what about 
it. A Charlotte man who was not born in Iredell, has found the information 
without particular trouble. In Wheeler's History it is disclosed that until 
1791 there was a Dobbs County in North Carolina. It was named for Arthur 
Dobbs, Royal Governor of the State, in the year named the counties of Lenoir 
and Glasgow were created out of Dobbs. In 1799 Glasgow became Greene County. 
Both Lenoir and Greene were christened for the Revolutionary generals of that 
name Craven County was formed from Bath in 1709, and Dobbs County was formed 
from Johnston County in 1758. Whenever the Iredell people want any information 
of a historical kind they can get it by calling on their Mecklenburg kin.
