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.
On 28 October 1755, Henry Falkenbourg sold James Pickett 200 acres on the south side of the Great Pee Dee. The tract was part of Joseph White's 1746 patent and adjoined John Leeth's land. Leeth is possibly the source of the family's later "Leath" name, but this is not yet confirmed.
On 15 June 1763, Jacob Paul sold Hezekiah White his home tract on Brown Creek for £80. No Fortenberry is a party to the deed, but the Whites were close neighbors and associates of the Falkenburg family, which is probably why it is in this collection.
