DUNCAN McRAE HAS POST MASTER PROBLEMS, APRIL 1801

	I have studied these counties for many years, and several of the names listed here are not familiar to me. 
It is likely these people were in the Sandhills for a while, but likely moved on to the Southwest.
The list is very informative, and could be very helpful if you find your ancestor here. Good luck!
