"Go here to get a little information about our county: ROBESON COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA HISTORY Fact: Did you know that the area of now Robeson County, from about 1749 - 1777 was Anson County on the southern side of the Lumber River and Bladen County on the other.

At our October meeting we enjoyed having Micah Sampson, as our speaker. He portrayed Henry Berry in "Strike at the Wind."
Our October
3rd meeting
,
with Mr. Frank Horton was enjoyed all information that he
shared with us.
He told us information
that we
needed to get into the DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution
and the SAR (Sons of the American Revolution).
He also gave us handout materials.
He spoke briefly
and generally about DNA testing which he had used to
process SAR and Mayflower applications.
*NOTICE*Dues Increase Please Read
Due to the rising costs of printing, shipping and handling, the
Robeson County Historical and Genealogical Society has increased its
individual membership dues from $15 to $20. Our meeting Sept. 12, 2009 at the Lumber Bridge Presbyterian Church was enjoyed by all. We learned some interesting facts about the church's history and the history of its members. Church members related the history of the Church and its buildings and pastors, and provided a bit of information on some of its early families. They then take us on a tour of the older and more interesting gravesites in the church cemetery.
