I don't think anyone has been able to trace exactly what county he was from originally. I think the general concensus was either Robeson or Sampson. He ended up in Cumberland. This site is a good place to look, as also is a general Google web search. Cumberland County NC Public Library, (downtown), may be able to help you. They have extensive information in their State Room as well as very knowledgeable librarians to assist you. Wishing you the best!
