Abram Corpening married Letticia "Letta” Estes (1790-1851) and built his homestead at Bridgewater, Burke Co. A biography by Col. Thomas George Walton referred to Abram Corpening as prosperous.
Over time, western Burke County would contain some thriving attractions. A gold rush occurred at Brindle Creek (1828-1849). The Western NC Railroad arrived at the Glen Alpine Depot in 1868, prompting development of the Glen Alpine Springs Hotel. (That luxury hotel was one of the state’s largest, accommodating 100 guests, and it offered healing waters, billiards, bowling, lavish meals, and dancing. Many guests traveled from Charleston, SC and Savannah, GA to stay at Glen Alpine, or the nearby Nebo Methodist Campground.) A trail near Abram Corpening’s land would become Interstate 40.
