Person County is a 400 square mile area in the
rolling north central section of North Carolina.
This lovely Piedmont area, north of the hustling
Triangle Park area of Raleigh, Durham, and
Chapel Hill, is largely rural, with many forests
and farms offer lush beauty and gentle family
entertainment. Person County, NC boasts two
small mountains, Mt. Tirzah and Hagar's
Mountain; and lakes, Mayo Lake and Hyco Lake.
Today, Person County's population, which numbers
nearly 40,000, enjoys a balance of industry and
agriculture.
Formed in 1791, and named for General Thomas
Person, a Revolutionary Patriot and a trustee of
the University of North Carolina, Person County,
NC is bounded by Granville, Durham, Orange and
Caswell counties, as well as the State of
Virginia. Roxboro (est.1793) is the county seat.
Revolutionary War General Stephen Moore was one
of the first settlers. His home, called Mt.
Tirzah (Mount Beautiful), was built in 1793. It
is still there and is owned by one of his
descendants.
You may be considering the financial option of
bankruptcy, a federal plan that allows debtors
to divide assets among creditors and free
themselves of financial obligations that cannot
be repaid. In some cases, debtors can stay in
business and use new revenue to resolve old
debts. Person County is in the Middle District,
with Bankruptcy Courts in Durham, Greensboro,
and Winston-Salem. The court's official
Web site
can answer many of your bankruptcy questions.
