Synopsis
Deed dated 27 January 1757, "in the 30th year of the Reign of … George the 2nd" (typed transcript, deed book page 269, entry no. 186). Isaac Falkenburgh (Faulkenburgh) of Anson County, planter, sells to James Muckleroy (Muckleoy; McElroy), blacksmith, for £32 10s 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 is the land granted to Jacob Falkenburgh by patent of 2 March 1754, "in the 27th year of Reign." Isaac made his mark ("Isaac X. Falkenburgh"). William Howell, James Adams, and "James Muthlk(??)" witnessed; the typist could not read that last name. Isaac had bought this tract from Jacob five weeks earlier (20 December 1756 deed, in another post) for £20, so he resold it for £12 10s more. This deed confirms that the "James McElroy" in the 1762 Benjamin Martin to William Moody recital is this Muckleroy, and that the land passed through Isaac, though the Martin deed skips him. The Howells, who were also witnesses in 1750 and 1754, were possibly near neighbors (not yet confirmed).
