This viewed by LH on 9-23-98.Harlen's grave is about 14 feet directly left of large headstone of Dr. Barney Nixon.Back Creek is about three miles west of Asheboro, just a block off Highway 64.
Follow up to find out where the "Bolden" came from:
Dawes Roll or Index?? lists a Joe Ellis Bolden, Cherokee.FTM shows a CD of Delaware and Maryland marriages has a Jane Bolden.
NC census of 1790 shows a number of Holdens in counties around Randolph.
There are Boldens in Orange Co, which is next to Randolph.
