Bostick Family

One of the early settlers taking an active political role in Stokes County, NC, was Absalom Bostick.  He was not only a county treasurer, justice of the peace and tax lister, but was a member of the House of Commons (1790-1795) from Stokes Co.  Earlier, before Stokes was created from Surry County (1798), he was a representative from Surry County to conventions at Hillsborough in 1788 and at Fayetteville in 1789.  The convention in Hillsborough was to determine the proposed plan of federal  government and for fixing a seat of government for North Carolina...... continued
