On p. 185: The boundary line between Rowan, Mecklenburg, and Tryon was authorized to be run in 1770.
So, despite the fact that Rowan and Mecklenburg counties had been created years earlier, the boundary between them was unclear until after 1770. Hence, the probable reason that John Hannah was of Mecklenburg county in his will, but in Rowan Co. in the
census.
