Am searching for any information on this James Denby below: 1760, March 14, - Granville Co., NC (1501 - pg. 347) James Denby patented 640 acres in the Parish of St. John on the branches of Cypress Swamp, joining Ratleys line, Brinkleys old line and Simmons line. (This was part that later became Bute and then Franklin Co, NC) Witnesses: John Hawkins and Will Johnson - surveyed April 3, 1758 SCC: William Edwards Surveyor: Sher Haywood By l766 James DENBY APPEARS in Bute Co, NC and later in Franklin Co,NC. Really need to know who he married. I know that it was Patience? and would probably have been mid to late l750's.Also need to know his brothers and sisters. I have info on his children and more than willing to share!!!! Would like to hear from any DENBYS of this area--l835 or before. ------ Also researching a Jacob Jones born about l729 probably Nansemond Co, VA and died l8l8 Franklin Co,NC. I am not sure if he was ever in Granville Co,NC but probably was. From l747-l759 he appears in the vestry book in Nansemond Co, Virginia and in l764 he is on the Beautfort Co, NC Tax List. From l769 onward he is in Bute and later Franklin Co,NC. I need to know his wife's names. I have more on his children. _______ For others researchig this area of NC--they might want to check my homepage --NC link as I have several records and wills for Bute and Franklin Co,NC--many of these families came through Granville.
