Witnesses- James Pickett, Henry Falbenry
Synopsis
Deed dated 18 December 1752 (typed transcript, deed book pages 290-291). John McDaniel of Anson County, planter, sells to Andrew Faulkinbrough of Anson County, planter, for £35 Virginia currency, 150 acres on the south side of the Great Pee Dee. The tract begins at a red oak on the north side of Jones's Creek on the point of a hill near the creek, then runs N 10 W 200 poles to a black oak, N 70 W 130 poles to a white oak, S 15 E 250 poles to a pine, and due east to the beginning. It was patented to Benjamin Horn on 3 December 1746 and conveyed to McDaniel on 19 July 1751. McDaniel made his mark. James Pickett and "Henry H. Falbenry" (Henry Falkenberry, by mark "H") witnessed. These are the same bounds as the tract Andrew sold to Thomas Dixon on 26 February 1761 for the same £35, so this is how Andrew acquired it. It is the second record of Andrew (after May 1750) and places Henry beside him as a witness. Andrew was possibly Henry's son, which is not yet confirmed. Also on these pages: the end of a deed signed by Elizabeth E Kemp (witnesses Ambrose Steele and Andrew A Cox), and Benjamin Dumas to David Dumas, a 15 January 1753 gift "for the fartherly Love he hath for his Child" of 353 acres on the north side of the Pee Dee. Both are unrelated, so the Dumas deed is transcribed for completeness and the Kemp fragment is only noted.
