Oh, it is useful. Thank you so much for posting it. Keith has helped me in the past in trying to untangle those Murphys up in (and around Duplin) during that time period.

Here's something Dee Thompson found and shared with us a few years ago (relative to John Murphy): #5: Duplin deeds, please, for both John MURPHY and Asa SUTTON and John DOLLAR as grantor, please p. 279 THOMAS WRIGHT, Shff. to JOHN GILMAN, both of Duplin Co., 17 Oct 1797, for 6 pds. 300A formerly granted by the Kings Patent to ELIZABETH BOWSER & since conveyed by deed in writing from RICHARD THORN to sd. NATHANIEL LOVE, on the WS of the Northeast River in Mulberry Neck near Maxwell Creek, beg. at a lightwood tree near Gum Branch. The Superior Ct. of Wilmington Dist. awarded 190 pds. 1 shill 6 pence, plus cost of 12 pds. 2 pence to JOHN MURPHY, by a writ issued by JAMES MOORE, Clerk of Ct., to WILLIAM SOUTHERLAND, deputy, for damages in a suit against NATHANIEL LOVE, ISAAC BRINSON & JOHN BRINSON. The 300A of land was owned by NATHANIEL LOVE & "lived upon" by JOHN GILMAN who purchased land at public auction 23 Mar 1795. Wit: WM. DICKSON, CHARLES HOOKS. Oct. Ct. 1797. nothing for Sutton or Dollar Now, whether this John Murphy is the same as the John Murphy whose deed has just been posted, I do not know, though it seems likely to be one and the same. Perhaps Keith Lanier could shed some light on this. -- Katherine ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike & Diane" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, December 02, 2006 4:03 PM Subject: [NCDUPLIN] New info added! > Hi all, > > I just wanted to let you know the following deeds have been added to the > site today: > Alexander Armstrong (2), James Evans, Henry Newkirk, John Gibbs, David Greer > John Parker, Edward Pearsall, Lavin Wadkins (2), Abraham Newkirk (2), > Shadrach Williams (2), William Rogers, Nathaniel Edwards, John Murphy (2) > and Elijah Bowen. > > I have a few more things that need to be added and I will try to get to > those tonight, if not they will definitely be added tomorrow. > > Please continue to send in your information to be added to the site and I > will get it posted as quickly as possible! > > Thanks, > Diane > > http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncduplin/duplin.htm > http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncnewhan/nh.htm > http://www.tribalpages.com/tribes/garebel > http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncpender/pender.htm > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe [email protected] from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
