I find in my research, a deed where Thomas Respess of Beaufort Co NC bought land from Benjamin May of Pitt county...the land was north of Black Swamp. any help to locate black swamp and where the 100 acres were? And what is the connection, if any, of Thomas Respess and B. Mays.. the deed dates late 1700..1783, I think. Thank you Virginia Respess Hollowell
