NORTH CAROLINA: GEOGRAPHICAL MAPS

       Land is the only thing in the world worth workin' for, worth fightin' for, worth dyin' for, because it's the only thing that lasts. 

 

~ Margaret Mitchell~

The three geographic regions of North Carolina are the Coastal Plain, Piedmont, and Appalachian Mountains. Virginia is on the state's northern border.  To the west is Tennessee.  South Carolina lies to the south and Georgia touches the southwestern corner of North Carolina.

I am the great-great-great granddaughter of Nathaniel Sims.  This website contains information about his life and details of his descendants.   Nathaniel Sims was born about 1794 in Wake County, North Carolina.  He was a farmer and also Justice of the Peace.  Nathaniel had five children with his first wife, Prudence Killough: James Anderson Sims, Rebecca Sue Sims, Samuel Killough Sims, Prudence N. Sims and Harriate Sims. He had three children by his second wife, Mary A. Morrison: Ann Mozelle Sims, Nathaniel McCamie Sims, and William M. Sims.  Nathaniel Sims passed away on 1 September 1968 in Cabarrus County, North Carolina.  Some of his descendants continue living in North Carolina today.
