(currently spelled Gloucester) Page 3 has a paragraph: "A letter from Williamsburgh, in Virginia...says 'There is scarce any history, antient or modern, which affords an account of such a rapid & sudden increase of inhabitants in a back frontier country as that of North Carolina. ...that 20 years ago there were not 20 taxable persons within the limits of the county of Orange; in which there now are 4000 taxable. The increase of the inhabitants & flourishing state o the other adjoining back countries are no less surprizing & astonishing."
