You can also "google" History of "MOON-SHINING" in Western North Carolina...

Hopefully find some info on my family before my uncle died he was telling me someone in our family during prohibition was an 80 year old man and one of the biggest moonshiners around. He said when.he was finally busted an uncle took the fall because he thought he was to old to go to prison. I wish i could remember the full story.

Thanks for info does the office go by any other names? Someone told me go to gis office.

Could also be the surveyors office, either way, it's where all land surveys are recorded for the county or state, hope this helps.
