Notice the name, Edward MOORE in these deeds. There is also a Thomas WHITFIELD all over these CAIN deeds and I think he may play into this whole bunch. I wish I know which branch of the WHITFIELDS he was out of, as well as the Arthur WHITEHEAD, listed in other deeds, as well as Edward MOORE. Special note -- look at the Charles DANIEL listed on the last deed...... Who was this Charles? <<< Edgecombe NC Deed Book 03-499 13 Jun 1750 Capt Robert Warren to WILLIAM CANE for 25pds, 85a on lower half on n side of Tar River part of pat to Robt Warren 26 Jul 1743. s/ Robert Warren. w/ Edward Moore, Jno Bradford.
