Witnesses – Joseph White, John White, Jacob J. Paul
Synopsis
Deed dated 15 June 1763 (typed transcript, deed book page 38, entry no. 35). Jacob Paul (Paull) of Anson County, NC, sells to Hezekiah White, for £80 current money, the tract where Paul then lived on Brown Creek. It was patented to Joseph White in September 1754 and conveyed by White to Paul. The tract begins at a white oak and its sides measure 50 and 40 chains, about 200 acres, though the deed gives no acreage. The witnesses were Joseph White, John White, and Jacob J. Paul (by mark). The top of the page shows the end of the preceding deed by Benjm. Martin, witnessed by Christopher Hunt, John Long, and John Cundall. That is probably the 1762 Benjamin Martin to William Moody deed in another post. No Fortenberry/Falkenberry appears in this deed. It probably sits in the collection because the White family were neighbors and associates. Nicholas White bought Isaac Falconbury's land in 1768, and Joseph White sold land to Henry Falkenbury in 1748.
