Some Other Contentneas

This last week, I have been writing about Quakers in Wayne County, North Carolina, and came across the name Contentnea. While looking for the definition of Contentnea, I came across quite a few places named that in North Carolina.

Among them: Contentnea Township in Lenoir County, NC; Contentnea-Savannah School in Kinston, NC; Contentnea Creek Development Company in Raleigh, NC; Contentnea Creek near Griffin, NC and Contentnea Primitive Baptist Church in Wilson County, NC.

Lots of Contentneas. --Cooter

Contentnea?-- Nahunta?

Look as I may, I can't find out what Nahunta and Contentnea are as far as definitions.

I did find many place names for both and I will list some of them in another post. I am not sure if the names have something Quaker-specific about them or not?

If anyone can find out and let me know, I'd be appreciative. --DaCoot
