ABRAHAM Taylor 1



  1. No indication of what happened to the lot in New Bern

  2. received 300 acres in 1735 where he lived on Core Creek &endash; what happened to that land &endash; it appears he may have lived closer to where Core Creek went into the Neuse than we had thought.

  3. in 1738 he received 300 acres on the Neuse River &endash; one assumes on Core Creek &endash; he had a ferry and then sold in 1742 190 of those acres to John Irons including the part with the ferry. Several months after receiving this land, he deeded land to his son Jacob &endash; we need to determine what happened to that land. In 1753 according to the deed, 185 acres of the 1738 patent was sold by Abraham. Which Abraham &endash; it is assumed Abraham Sr died in 1752 when his will was probated according to the Court Records. Could this have been Araham Jr or were the court records slightly off? Maybe the deeds of Michael Becton could shed some light on this.

Who was George Marshall's wife? &endash; Prudence or someone not mentioned by name. I can't find a Colton. Beesley line followed because they lived in Craven Co.

OLD ABRAHAM'S will was written 2 April 1751 but we are not sure of the probate date. It can be assume that after this time, anything for Abraham was for his son Abraham.
