North Carolina's original Buncombe County included those areas presently known as Buncombe, Haywood, Henderson, Jackson, Madison and Transylvania Counties and the western parts of Yancey, McDowell and Polk Counties. Macon, Clay, Cherokee, Graham and Swain were still Cherokee Indian Lands until 1819 and 1835. For our purposes, however, we consider them a part of Old Buncombe County, as many families moved into these areas before the land was officially acquired from the Cherokee.
