Synopsis
Deed dated 20 December 1756, "in the 29th year of the Reign of … George the 2nd" (typed transcript, deed book page 271, entry no. 127). Jacob Falkenburgh of Anson County, planter, sells to Isaac Falkenburgh of the same county, planter, for £20 proclamation money, about 150 acres on the north side of the Great Pee Dee River. The tract begins at a live oak and runs N 53 E 45 poles to a hickory. It was "granted to me the sd Jacob Falkenburgh by Pattent bearing date the 2nd day of Mch. in the 27th year of Reign A. D. 1754." Jacob made his mark ("Jacob X Falkenburgh"). Philip Howell, Nicholas X Broadaway, and William Howell witnessed. Five weeks later, on 27 January 1757, Isaac resold the tract to James Muckleroy. This Jacob held a patent in his own name in 1754, so he was an adult by then. That makes him very likely Henry's son Jacob (father of the grandson Henry in the 1759 gift) and not Isaac's son Jacob. Jacob was possibly Isaac's brother, which is not yet confirmed.
