Yep, I ran across the Orange County ones too. Plus there was a branch that came into Charleston in the mid 1700s. That one really messed me up. George ran through two of the other families. Let me know when you have the time and courage try to sort them out. I hope you find something.

Steve, There are some real surprises here. Obviously a number of these men are Abraham's brothers. Keep in mind through all this that Anson County was formed from Bladen in 1750 and that Robeson was formed from Bladen in 1787. I.E. the land that Jacob Paul was granted in Bladen in 1748 could have been adjacent to the same land that he was granted in Anson in 1754, which in turn could have been the same land in Robeson County after 1787 (or it could have been in South Carolina - explanation below). As for William Paul's grant in Bertie County (the first we see of the Pauls in NC), Bertie was just over the line from Virginia. Since the Paul family came from Virginia, we'll start there, then go to North Carolina, and finally South Carolina, - although they didn't exactly "MOVE" to South Carolina.

For years the border between North Carolina and South Carolina had been in dispute. "...in 1764 the border east of the Catawba River was surveyed...it was not until 1772 that it was surveyed west of that river. Before these surveys, over 1,000 land grants were issued by North Carolina in territory which is now South Carolina. These grants are in the present counties of Marlboro, Chesterfield, Lancaster, York, Chester, Union, Cherokee, Spartanburg, Greenville, Laurens and Newberry. . .these counties did not come into existence until many years after the border was surveyed. In the periods just after the survey, these grants were considered in CRAVEN or Berkeley Counties, and St. Mark's or St. David's Parish, South Carolina. The North Carolina counties from which these land grants were issued were Bladen, Anson, Mecklenburg, and Tryon." (Brent H.
