Henry Banner with wife, Eleanor Martin, traveled from Pennsylvania to Carolina in 1751. We begin with the Banner family who migrated from England to Pennsylvania in 1740. Let the exploration begin as we trace the footsteps of these early pioneers. This will be the first segment of many more to follow later this spring. If you wish to read more about our Great Wagon Road series, follow the links here and here. The lands of Stokes County were very fertile with both the Yadkin and the Dan River flow freely through the area. Majority of pioneers who traveled down The Great Wagon Road would have passed through the Stokes County area to reach their new lands.

Where possible, families have been linked together across census records so that you can trace them more easily.Formed in 1789, Stokes County was created from Surry County, NC. The census records available on this website have been compiled using original images and online resources, meaning that some census records have much more information than others. Each census is not made available to the public until 100 years after it was conducted. Information found in census records is not always accurate, so misspellings and other errors can often cause problems for family history research. Since 1851, census records have shown the exact age and birthplace of each individual and have also included their relationship to the head of household. Ages were recorded for anyone under the age of 15 but older individuals often had their ages rounded down to the nearest five years. Birthplaces and relationships to the head of the household were not recorded, although it was noted whether the person was born in the place they were currently living and relationships can sometimes be inferred from the occupation.
In 1841, the General Register Office conducted the first census that recorded the names of everyone in a household or institution. Between 18, they were mainly used to report on headcounts and did not contain any personal information of any value to family history research. Censuses have been conducted in the UK every ten years since 1801 (with the exception of 1941, due to World War II).
