Release: Henry Falkenborough releases 134 acres in Anson Co., NC to Jacob Falkenborough
On 29 April 1756, Henry Falkenborough released to Jacob Falkenborough a 134-acre plantation on the south side of the Great Pee Dee. This is the second step of an old "lease and release" conveyance. This Jacob was possibly Henry's own son rather than his grandson Jacob, son of Isaac, but that is not yet confirmed.

Deed: Pickett Jr. sells 300 acres in Anson Co., NC to Pickett Sr.
In July 1759, James Pickett Jr. sold his father two Pee Dee parcels. One was the 200 acres Henry Falkenbourg had sold in 1755, next to "Jno. Leeth's land." The deed traces the tract back through Henry to Joseph White's 1746 patent. A family link to Leeth is possible but not yet confirmed.

Deed: Carrell sells the 80-acre Naked Creek tract in Anson Co., NC to Tallant
On 6 December 1762, Tarrance and Ann Carrell sold the 80-acre Naked Creek tract to Thomas Tallant for £50. The deed recites the land's whole history, from Henry Falkenberry's 1750 patent through John Leath and back to Carrell. This is the last link in a four-deed chain. John Leath is possibly the source of the later family name "Leath," but this is not yet confirmed.
