"1787 - p.13- Criswell, Samuel & Offutt, Ezekiel to Thomas Gordon - 2,900 acres on S. Fork of Broad River on
Franklin County, line - October 2, 1787
Note: John Prestridge (Letty's father) also had land on Beaverdam Creek on Broad River granted to him as early as 1783. This inferrs that the Thomas Gordon mentioned above, was the husband of Letty Prestidge.
