Does anyone have information on the location, pictures, people, products, and any other info of the Banner Roller Mills? Some time ago a person emailed a pic of the back of the building with some men standing on a dock. My computer crashed (of course) and I lost it and the contact. I have pics of Silas Carpenter, my grandfather, which I would share if interested. Can anyone help with information? Thanks! Bonnie

Looking for information about Lt. Col Thomas Lafayette Lowe, born July 28, 1831, who married Dorcas Anna Coulter, born Nov. 7, 1831. Lt. Col Thomas Lafayette Lowe's father was Isaac Lowe. Any and all information about these three family members, (and other family members) is appreciated. Thomas Lafayette Lowe is my great-great-grandfather.

As the LCHA's photograph collections continue to grow, we increasingly need the help of our members to identify photographs that have no markings on the back. If we are lucky, some of these photographs appeared in the local newspapers and we are able to learn about the photographs subjects. Many of the images that appeared in the two Lincoln County newspapers (Lincoln County News and Lincoln Times) from the 1930s through the 1960s were taken by Don Frazier of Frazier Studio or Clyde "Baby…

Jacob Arney (????-1782)
Purchased 200 acres of land, on the south of the South Fork of the Catawba River, in 1772 (Warrant 1775), in Tryon County, North Carolina. (Which places him in the area, prior to 1772).
Jacob Arney, left behind a Will, dated in 1782, probated in 1782 (I believe).
Q? Are there any records, that exist (ex. tax lists, etc.), that may be used to confirm his existence in Lincoln County, North Carolina, since he died prior to the 1790 US Federal…

Although I live in Texas, my ancestors settled in Lincoln County, North Carolina. That is why I chose Lincolnton to be the setting of my book about two boys who find a treasure map that leads them to discover more than a treasure chest buried in the 1840s. I hope you will read, "The Lost Treasure of Lincoln County" by Nancy Sifford Alana and enjoy reading about the American flag, pride in America, Ramsour's Mill, the Flood of 1916, Fourth of July Parades down Main Street, and small town…

We're sure that many of you can tell from recent photograph albums that our staff and volunteers have been working hard to photograph gravestones in cemeteries throughout Lincoln County. In the process, we have uncovered some incredible information on stonecutters and engravers who crafted beautiful gravestones of soapstone, schist, and marble, and engraved on them some of the most amazing funerary art. We have been very fortunate to have access to some amazing people such as Bill Beam,…

Over the past sixteen years, we have been inundated with calls, emails, and in-person visits concerning photographs of historic buildings in Lincoln County. Contained within the Gaither Shrum Collection are photographs taken by Historic Preservation Consultant and Architectural Historian Marvin A. Brown during his architectural survey of Lincoln County during the mid-1980s. We assume that Mr. Shrum made copies of these images from Mr. Brown's negatives, but are not exactly sure. Upon…
