Information came from North Carolina Archives search where I searched for the surname GROVES. I came up with two titles of interest: 1756, Office of Sec. of State, Granville Proprietary Land office. Mars ID # 12.12.27.59. "Descriptive references for land: Grassy Creek Plat: 1760 May 5 339 acres. Gives personal names also. Another of interest was a Halifax Co. Deed (which was found in Marg. Hoffman Bk. of Granville Co. deeds which described Great Swamp 1760 and mentions Robert Kelly GROVES. This was also listed on N.C. Archives when I searched for GROVES. I tried to get into Mars to see about land grants for GROVES, but was unable to do so. The url for that search is http://www.ncarchives.dcr.state.nc.us/ I am looking for any information on that Robert Kelly Groves of 1760 as I think he may be the father of my forebear Joseph Kelly Groves Sr. of Duplin Co. N.C. Thanks for your information. I have just begun to search in this area. Wanda Groves Kohlmann
