RECORD OF DEEDS, Index and Abstracts Books 1-88 LIST OF GRANTORS and GRANTEES:
1744-1880
By Location & Date
Author's Notes:
Links are to "GNIS in Google" maps. "Topo"
(topographic) view is recommended in
order to see feature names; "Map" shows modern roads; "Satellite" shows terrain;
"Hybrid" superimposes "Map" & "Satellite". Adjust scale to
show sufficient detail.
Spelling: Any who have studied old documents know
that spelling is variable in the 18th & 19th centuries, as
exemplified in the multiple spellings of "Absalom". We have retained
the original spellings as we found them and left it to the viewer to
determine their "correctness". However, we use modern
standardized spellings in our notes & headings.
Dates: County clerks record deeds more or less in the order
they're presented. However, years or decades may have lapsed before
a deed is brought to the courthouse for recording. Thus the
recording order doesn't always follow the chronological sequence of
transactions. We present these deeds in order of execution within
the area.

Colemans Creek
{This feature — apparently re-named
— can not be found on modern maps, nor is it listed by USGNIS
as a variant name. Associated features -- Glovers Creek, Broad Creek, Riggs
Landing -- have also disappeared or been renamed. Note the very early 1707 patent date for Robert Coleman.}
{Analysis of associated locations shows it to possibly be
what is now called Tucker Creek, or another tributary of Slocum Creek. We are looking for 250 acres (about 3/8 of a square mile)
somewhere on Slocum Creek meeting these criteria:
Encompassing the mouth of one creek, the head
of another and part of a third, as well as a small branch;
Flowing out of a swamp.
One would associate a cave with relatively steep terrain, which occurs
on the banks of Slocum & its tributaries.
Tucker Creek seems to meet these criteria as well as any; this land is now within the Cherry Point
Naval Reservation. Other possibilities include the East & Southwest Prongs of Slocum
Creek.}

[Note: John Taylor grant in Hoffmans patents gives description as: on E. side of

Richard Caswell on SE side of SW Creek - near head of Miller's pocoson, Henry
Roberts now Nathan Ward, both sides of Mill Branch, Armwell Hearon near Crooked
Johnny's Branch, his land called Woodington and lands Caswell bought of JOHN
