SPD at Pleasant Hill beginning at a hickory.

Synopsis
Deed dated 25 April 1758 (typed transcript, deed book pages 412-413). Isaac Falkenbury (also Falkinborough, Falkemburgh) of Anson County, planter, sells to Henry Falkemburgh (also Folkinburgh, Falkenborough), for £50 proclamation money, 200 acres called Pleasant Hill on the south side of the Great Pee Dee River in Anson County, formerly Bladen. The tract begins at a hickory. It was granted to John Futsjarrall (Fitzgerald) by patent dated 30 September 1740, a typing slip for 1748 per the later deeds. Futsjarrall sold 100 acres to Hugh Wilson in June 1750, and Futsjarrell and Wilson conveyed the tract to Isaac on 17 April 1754. The other deeds give 1751 (1760) and 1757 (1782) for that conveyance, so the true year is uncertain. The typist first wrote "John Falkenburgh" and then corrected it to Futsjarrall. Isaac signed by mark ("I"). Jas. Hutchins, Samuel Berry, and Davn Hildreath witnessed. This is the first link in the Pleasant Hill chain: Isaac > Henry (1758) > Jacob son of Isaac (1760) > Samuel Spencer (1782). Isaac possibly sold to his father so the land could pass to Isaac's son Jacob, but that motive is not yet confirmed.
