Synopsis
Deed dated 6 December 1762 (typed transcript, deed book pages 7-8, entry no. 7). Tarrance Carrell and his wife Ann, of Anson County, sell the 80-acre Naked Creek tract on the Pee Dee River to Thomas Tallant for £50 proclamation money. The creek is typed "hacked Creek" here. The deed recites the whole chain of title. Henry Falkenberry's patent was dated 6 April 1750, and Henry conveyed the land to Carrell in 1754. Carrell sold it to John Leath on 15 October [1754], and Leath sold it back to Carrell on 2 March 1756. The interlined lines are typed out of order in the transcript. Tarrance and Ann both signed by mark, and W. Brown, George Pennington, and Eliz. Brown witnessed. This is the last link in the four-deed chain for Henry's Naked Creek patent. John Leath, who appears in this chain of title, is possibly connected to the later Fortenberry middle name "Leath," which is not yet confirmed.
