Note:
[REF: #90 pg36]
lists that these births were taken from a
Bible still in existence and ownership of MILDRED AHREND, a
descendant of 2nd Daughter Mrs. ELIZABETH (SARRATT) LAX. Neither JOHN or his
1st Wife are named. The surname is spelled "SURAT". For
reason of consistency they have taken the liberty to change the
spelling to conform to the majority of records at that time...prs |

In the South Carolina Magazine of Ancestral Research, Vol. 1-20
SCMAR, Volume XIX Number 1, Winter, 1991 Pg. 56
Was a Query from Mrs. Hazel (Surrett) Ciccio, (02 Apr 1915 - 27 Aug 1999, a83y)
(1715 Old Daytona Road, DeLand, FL 32724)
(She claims she has a Bible with these same children, but she claims they
are the children of Allen,2 SARRETT. This is not true ..prs)
SURRAT-BOLTON.
I have a Bible of Allen Surrat, published 1858, pages torn, missing,
born 11 Dec 1763, NC, lived Spartanburg, SC 1799, 1800, 1818, moved
about 1828 to Tennessee with probable brothers John and Samuel in 1790
Spartanburg, SC, all died in Tenn.
Children of Allen Surrat readable in Bible:
1. Farley,
2. Phillip,
3. Nancy,
4. Green,
5. Tempy,
6. Allen,
7. Rhoda,
8. John and
9. Rachel, b. 1793-1814.
He had two sons, one dau. in 1790 census.
Allen Surrat, b. 20 Nov 1807, son of Allen, m. Elizabeth Bolton,
b 5 Mar 1814, moved to Symsonia, Graves Co., KY, before 1860.
Would like to hear from Surratt, Surrett families of Allen Surrat,
John or Samuel Surrat.

1790 - Land Purchase
The state granted 640 acres of land lying on "Beaverdam Creek",
Davidson Co., NC. to a LEWIS BEARD. In 1790 JOHN,4 SARRATT, a25y
bought 440 acres of that tract. His land was directly below the
land of his father a50y ALLEN,1 SARRATT'S land and can be located on
map prepared by BERT M. LANIER of Denton, Davidson Co., North
Carolina, and is on display in the Denton Library.) [REF: #90 pg36]

From Tax Records which start in 1796 and continued up to the prior
