Robert C. Carpenter:
Residents in this company were predominately of German
descent. I have identified 50 of the 87 names as being of German descent. Many
were descendants of early immigrants into America and into North Carolina. Family
ties bound many of these residents. Most of the inhabitants of the company were
farmers and held few slaves. The company’s two cotton gins were owned by John
Oats and Adam Kiser. Two cotton gins suggest the production of cotton. Most
farms appear to be of the small farm variety with production of subsistence
crops plus some production for sale.
Carpenter's Company is in present southern central Lincoln
County and present northern central Gaston County. It included about half of
the sixth company in the 1790 Lincoln County census. A geographic description
of the tax list company would be thusly: the company is south of the South Fork
River; its boundary runs from approximately High Shoals south along the South
Fork River to a line with Pasour Mountain. That line runs southwest toward present
Bessemer City; the line runs along Long Creek westward toward the present
Cleveland County line; at a point near the present Gaston-Cleveland County line
the boundary runs north to include present day Cherryville; the boundary then
ran east from approximately Mt. Zion Church south of Indian Creek until halfway
between present Cherryville and Crouse; at that point the company boundary drifts
north of Indian Creek and then runs into the South Fork River near present-day
Laboratory.
The tax district basically was south of Indian Creek, west
of the South Fork and northwest of Pasour Mountain, north of Long Creek, and
west of a ridge running approximately along the current Cleveland and Gaston county
line. The portion of the tax list in Gaston County was in present Cherryville
Township.
