Posted on: Davidson County, NCGenWeb Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/Davidson?read=1490 Surname: Barkley, Davis ------------------------- I saw your message posted and thought I see if I could help. There is an old land grant map at the Love Learning Resource Center at the Davidson County Community College in Thomasville, NC. It lists old land grants. It has your Robert Bartley [sp.], 100 acres, 1788 borders the Yadkin River, Benjamin Davis, 166 acres, 1788, John Davis, 131 acres, 1784. Potts Creeks (there are two branches) runs off of the Yadkin River. One branch goes toward Churchland & Jubilee - actually in the middle of these two places. The other branch is west of Linwood going northwest. I could not find Richard's Creek, but that does not mean it's not there. I just can't locate it. The land grant map I'm talking about is quite large. I copied it in pieces at the NC State Library in Raleigh, NC in 1989. Since I am a local I'd be glad to call the Community College and see if they have a copy machine big enough to copy the map. Or perhaps you'd like to visit them when you are here. Just let me know.
