CANE CREEK MONTHLY MEETING Orange (now Alamance) County, North Carolina Cane Creek Monthly Meeting was established 7th of 10th month, 1751, being located on the steams from which it took its name, in the central part of the large area which comprised Orange County. This area included all the present counties of Caswell, Person, Alamance, Chatham and Orange and parts of Rockingham, Guilford, Randolph, Lee, Wake and Durham. In 1777, Chatham, Guilford and Wake Counties were established - each taking a part of Orange County. The division line between Orange and Chatham was run a short distance to the south of the meeting house, so the meeting continued to be in Orange County, but the residences of many of the members were thrown into Chatham. This accounts for the fact that in a large number of families the older children were recorded as having been born in Orange County and the younger ones in Chatham County. In 1849 Orange County was again divided, the western portion, including the site of Cane Creek Meeting, being set off as Alamance County. The meeting house is today located in that County, adjacent to the village of Snow Camp, and about 15 miles south of Graham, the county seat.
