Question:

My 3rd great grandmother lived to be 115. She often gave Rochester, NC as her birthplace. Where is it?

We have contacted the UNC Library, State Archives, and State Library. The best we've found is a post office which was once called Rochester and later Marietta. We know it was near the NC - SC border.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: In present day North Carolina there is not a Rochester; however, there is a Rochester Heights in Wake county. I didn't find Rochester on the list of Ghost towns in North carolina.
