Anson County NC Deeds Volume 5 page 244, 24 Jul 1757 - James Muckleroy of Anson, blacksmith, to Thomas Lacy of same for L5 proc. money, land granted 26 May 1757 350 acres adj. Archibald Blackes. Wit.: Wm. Blewett, John Lilly, Darby Caves (>O) Does this help anyone out? Hope so.

He sounds like one of ours. Blacksmiths run in the family. I don't remember anyone who lived in Anson. Most of ours were in Craven, Johnston, and Wake, although there were others. This James Muckleroy would have to have been over 21 to own land so he would have to have been born before 1736. We have a James born about 1723. I'll see who else it could have been on my line.
