State - 1789
On July 4, 1584, two English explorers, commissioned by Sir Walter Raleigh, dropped anchor off the coast of the region now present-day North Carolina. Although the region was inhabited by hostile Indians, they reported favorably on it, and as a result, a colonizing expedition set out the following year. On Aug. 17, 1585, a colony was established on Roanoke Island, but abandoned a year later. On July 22, 1587, another colony commissioned by Raleigh landed on the island. The colony of 121 men was led by John White, whose granddaughter, Virginia Dare, bom on Aug. 18, 1587, was the first child of English parents born in America. John White went back to England for supplies and returned in 1590 to find that the colony had completely vanished. The only trace of the colony was the word "Croatoan" found carved on a tree. In 1629, the land South of Virginia, which was called Carolina, was granted to Sir Robert Heath by Charles I, but the proprietor failed to make use of his land In 1663, Charles II granted the Carolina territory to eight proprietors, and they divided the grant into North and South Carolina. The first permanent settlement in North Carolina territory was established in 1653, when groups of settlers came south from Virginia to occupy the section north of Albemarle Sound. Prior to the American Revolution, large groups moved down the Shenandoah Valley to settle in Virginia, and many continued on into North Carolina, settling in the western section of the state. North Carolina was made a State in 1789.
The Privits are a well known North Carolina family and they have retained that spelling and pronounce their name as privit, the shrub often used as a hedge. Privits come from a parish in Hants, near Petersfield, England. The Privitt's were among the first settlers of North Carolina. John and William Privett, whose destination was "Virginia", which at that time could have meant either Virginia or Carolina, were listed as leaving Bristol about 1680 (Bowman "Bristol to America 1654-1685", p. 493). The fate of William Privett is unknown, whether he died in passage, as many did, or returned to England, is pure speculation, but we do find records of John Privett beginning in 1694 in North Carolina. It is probably from this John Privett that the Privitt's of North Carolina owe their origin. Privits are found in Chowan, Craven, Iredell, Wake and Wayne Counties. THE MIGRATION SOUTH THE MIGRATION SOUTH

Revolutionary Land Grants:
Under her Royal Grants, North Carolina claimed what is now the State of Tennessee. First settlements were at Watauga, a branch of the Holston River, near the present town of Elizabethton in eastern Tennessee, not far from the Virginia line.

In 1777, North Carolina accepted the district as Washington Co, NC, which eventually embraced all of the present State of Tennessee. In 1783, North Carolina, by an act of the Assembly, ordered land surveyed in the unsettled portion of Greene County (formed from Washington) for Carolina Continental Line.
