No, as far as I can tell there are no Parish/Parrish or Reed names in the deeds. There are a few names I had trouble transcribing.....but they don't appear to be the ones you seek. I've sent the deeds to be posted on the Guilford Co., NC archives under the USGenWeb, so they should be up there soon and then everyone can see them.

You can submit them to the Archives for the Guilford County NCGenWeb. While I have a few deeds on the county website's pages, I am in the process of shifting all of those over to the Archives, since there are some that were submitted directly there, and this puts everything in the same place for the convenience of everyone. I have the e-mail address for the person who handles the Archives, but I won't post it here to avoid exposing him to spam. You can go to this page: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/nc/guilford.htm and follow the links at the bottom. Also, as another option, I can forward the deeds to the person who handles the Archives, if you will send them to me at my e-mail address, which is shown by a link near the bottom of this page: Katherine Dick Benbow County Coordinator, Guilford County NCGenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncguilfo/index.html USGenWeb is a project supported and hosted by Rootsweb, so all of this remains within the Rootsweb network.

I hope to find a way to post the deeds...I guess I could just attach them here as files. Do you think that would work? The deeds have lots of names of landowners and witnesses and so on in the area. The deed dates are 1782, 1793, 1797 and 1812. They could be valuable to others for a lot of reasons. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Young, 55, of Browns Summit, departed from his earthly life Sunday evening, October 21, 2007, after a six-year courageous battle with cancer. Funeral services celebrating his life will be held 2 p.m. Wednesday, October 24, at New Bessemer Baptist Church with Pastor Don Clement officiating. Entombment will follow at Lakeview Memorial Park. Born May 2, 1952, to the late Charles Henry Young, Jr. and Marion Williams Young in Guilford County, Mr. Young was of the Baptist faith. He was a graduate of Page High School and attended Guilford Technical Institute for two years. He had been employed with Lorillard for 22 years. He was a loving and devoted husband and father who will be fondly remembered as a kind, easy going, encouraging, and supportive man. He always put others before himself and even through his illness was more concerned with his family than with himself. He enjoyed golfing and was an avid sports fan, but above all he enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. Those left to cherish his memory include his beloved wife of 32 years, Pam Mabe Young; his adoring daughter, Alison Young Smith and her husband, John Manly Smith; brother, Terry Young and his wife, Pat; mother and father-in-law, Ray and Betty Mabe; brothers-in-law and their wives, Randy Mabe and Karen, Ricky Mabe and Bett, and Ken Mabe; nephews, Bradley Young and Nick Mabe; and niece, Jennifer Mabe. The family will receive friends from 7 until 9 p.m. Tuesday evening at Hanes-Lineberry North Elm St. Chapel. The family would like to express their heartfelt thanks to Gary and Pam's co-workers at Lorillard and Replacements, Ltd., and to their many friends for their love, prayers, and support and to the compassionate folks at Moses Cone Regional Cancer Center and to Hospice and Palliative Care at Greensboro for their expert care. Memorial contributions may be made to Hospice and Palliative Care, 2500 Summit Ave., Greensboro, NC 27405 or to New Bessemer Baptist Church, c/o the Building Fund, 4115 Hines Chapel Road, McLeansville, NC 27301.
