Hi list. Know there are lots of smart and knowledgeable folks rading this. I have a copy of a map -- CAPE FEAR LAND GRANTS BEFORE 1748. The area of my map page is into BLADEN, through CUMBERLAND and up to CHATHAM. 1. Can anyone tell me what book that map came from? 2. Does anyone have information on JOHN DAVIS (2 grants), THOMAS DAVIS and JOHN BROOKS who are all shown on this map? Hope to hear from you. Patty in Mexico

Patty, could you scan the map then send to all who would like a copy. sure would save you some time. Carlene

Patty, What a wonderful gesture and I'm afraid that the many requests you will get will make you sorry that you helped, but I do hope not. I would also like to request a copy as my maternal and paternal line is Sims and were in Bladen County and Columbus County prior to migrating to Alabama. I would so much like to reimburse you for your time as well as cost. Please, would you send us (the group) your address so that we can do something nice for you? My mailing address: Joyce Sims Severt 10148 Alicia Drive Midwest City, OK 73130-7511 Thank you so very much.

Dear Patti, I would like a copy of this map also. It was so generous of you to offer to send it to us. Thanks again, Jean Royal Birmingham, AL

Patty, Shouldn't we send you a s/a/s/e if we want a copy of the map?

The area of my > map page is into BLADEN, through CUMBERLAND and up to CHATHAM. snip Patty, does your map show New Hanover precinct at the bottom of the land mass and Brunswick also? I believe your map may be from Edward Moseley's map of 1733. That map has been used in several books. One I can think of is the Singletary family book. Deborah Byrd

Tell me everything that you have on Samuel and specifically what information you are looking for.

My 4x ggf is Samuel Johnson, father of the Rev. Elias Davis Johnson, who later lived in Robeson County. I think I need to start with his father before I can move on to the reverend, so whatever you may have on Samuel, besides what is in the Heritage book, I surely would appreciate it. Many thanks, Lynn Prettyman Baltimore, MD marylindsay1@home.com

I can't be of help but hope you will send your responses to the list. I am interested too. Does your map mention a McBryde or McBride by chance?

There are no deeds. >From # 10 Durrell, John, Onslow County, 1771 This is the only mention I can find, - there's not a single listing in the Testator's Index, Bladen County Heritage Book or any of the state books.
