| The above map showing the districts of Orange County, North Carolina in 1774 is from Person County Compilations by Katherine Kerr Kendall, page 3. It was reproduced there from Misc Records of Orange County, Department of Arichives and History, Raleigh, NC, file number C.R. 073.928.18. On May 9, 1777, the top eight districts (3, 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13, and 14) became Caswell County. At the June 1777 Session of the Caswell County Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessons, the name of Dunsmore District was changed to Nash District. At the March 1778 session the district of St. Martin’s was changed to Caswell District. In 1792 the eastern four districts of Caswell County (11, 12, 13, and 14) became Person County (green background above). The name of the St. Laurence District is sometimes written as St. Lawrence.
