  In 1740 only a few white families were scattered along the Hico ( Hyco ), the Eno, and the Haw rivers in the area that became Orange county. There were not twenty taxables in that region in 1748, but by 1751 Governor Gabriel Johnston reported that settlers were "flocking in," mostly from Pennsylvania. Alexander Mebane, Orange county's first sheriff, returned 1,113 tithables for the years 1752 and 1753, a figure which would indicate a total population of approximately 4,000 when the county was formed in 1752. By 1767 Orange had the largest population of any county in North Carolina. The great migration from Pennsylvania to Piedmont Carolina came in the middle of the eighteenth century. Scotch-Irish and German immigrants, finding the price of land too high for them in Pennsylvania, journeyed southward along the "Great Wagon Road" through the Shenandoah valley to Carolina. From 1745 to 1760 land was granted along the many creeks and rivers in every part of Orange County. Grants on New Hope creek are recorded for Bladen county as early as 1745 and along Deep river in 1749. According to the records for Granville county there were land.
