Please share with me ANY piece of information you have about the George Hise mentioned in the abstract below: "13 Nov 1784. John Lewis Beard and wf Christina to Henry Ludwig, for L100 in gold and silver coins, 142 A on both sides of Dutch Buffalo Cr being the land deeded to the grantors by George Hise and wf Mary 21 Aug 1772. Hise bought the land from Jacob Meyer and wf Margaret 18 Jun 1768. Wit: Mark House, Jacob Hise, and Lewis Beard. Prvd in Sep 1786 Ct by oath of Mark House. Sam Martin, CMC." (This abstract is from page 89 of Herman Ferguson's book Genealogical Deed Abstracts, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, Books 10-14.) I am especially interested in knowing 1. the previous places of residence of George Hise in America before he lived on Dutch Buffalo Creek, in Mecklenburg Co., NC, including those that might have been at another location in Mecklenburg Co., NC, such as west of the Catawba River 2. the place in Europe where he was born; I am assuming he was from what is now Germany, since he lived among German-speaking people on Dutch Buffalo Creek in Mecklenburg Co., NC I would also like to know: 1. when George Hise died 2. George Hise's place of residence at the time of his death 3. names of the children of George Hise If you have information in addition to what I have specifically mentioned, I would appreciate your sharing it with me. If you know of a family history that has been written by his descendants, please tell me the name of it and the name of a library which may have a copy. Thank you, Carole (Carole Irene Crismon Cook)
