Bladen County and later, Anson County, North Carolina, bordered on Prince Frederick Parish and Craven County
in the Cheraws District, South Carolina. The boundary line between North Carolina and South Carolina was in dispute and was
not settled until a new boundary was surveyed in 1764 and in 1772. Part of Anson County, North Carolina fell in South Carolina.
Bladen County was formed in 1734 from New Hanover County
