N.C. 6 dead, 4 times over

Formerly:

NC 6 #1: born about 1933 as a new primary cutoff between US 264/NC 91 and NC 94 southwest of Fairfield. In 1934 or 1935, NC 6 and NC 94 swapped positions.
The second NC 6 lasted until 1942. At that time NC 94 was sent across Lake Mattamuskeet, rendering the western swing of NC 94 unneeded. I suppose NC 6 could've been extended along the old 94 to the new 94, but that would've made too much sense.

The third NC 6 appeared (per Steffora) in 1947 as a renumbering of NC 49A, cutting the corner from New London northeast to NC 49. About 1953 this NC 6 was renumbered as part of today's NC 8 which it remains today.

NC 6 #4: was born in 1957 or 1958, mostly as new primary routing. NC 6 used Lee st. and Patterson St. A brief part of this route was also US 29A-70A at the time of NC 6's creation.

NC 6 disappeared from official maps in 2005 but was not deposted until about May 2009 (per Dave Filpus, seroads forum). The Jan 2009 Guilford County map shows NC 6 as SRs 4238 and 4240.
