Hi, all, Sent this yesterday, but there must have been some problem, as I haven't seen it come through. Wandering through other sources, I found that "Obadiah" Harris owned 440 acres of land on Wolf Branch of the Deep River in Rowan Co., North Carolina, which he sold to John Cheadle (II), of Caroline Co., VA, in October of 1767 (John's son-in-law, Samuel Hargrave, had also purchased land in Rowan Co. in 1766 from a different owner) (DAVIS, Virginia Lee Hutcheson: Tidewater Virginia Families: Generations Beyond; Copyright, 1998, by the author; Published, 1998, by Genealogical Publishing Company; Second Printing, 2004, by Genealogical Publishing Company, Baltimore, Mayland, USA; ISBN #0-80631-578-4; LOC # 98-72719; p. 150. (Virginia cited Rowan County, North Carolina Deed Book 6, pp. 504, 505.) It seems highly-likely that this Obediah Harris was the Quaker son of Benjamin & Sarah Dumas Harris, as he was selling his property to John Cheadle (II), an elder of the Golansville/ Caroline. (John Cheadle never quite made it to North Carolina, though, as he died in late 1767 or early 1768 in Caroline Co., VA. What eventually happened to this land is undiscovered by me, as the Caroline Co., VA records have been decimated, except for the Court minutes.) It also has not been discovered by me if the land that Obediah Harris owned in Rowan Co., NC was land that he himself had purchased, or whether it was land that Benjamin & Sarah Dumas Harris had previously purchased (remember that, under the primogeniture laws of Virginia, Obediah was his father's sole heir-at-law.) I have not been able to extract every record of the line of Benjamin & Sarah, but only some of them. Here is Part 19 of the children of Benjamin & Sarah Dumas Harris.
