I guess A.J. Derr is Joshua's younger brother - the only survivor of the Andrew Derr line that I am aware of. I hope I can figure out who A.J.'s descendants are, if he has any, and somehow connect with them to share information. I will also have to investigate who James Mullen is. I suppose he could be a brother-in-law of Joshua and A.J. Do you think Johsua W. had a will or was it intestate succession? When I was researching in Lincoln County last June, I didn't know about Joshua's connection to my ancestors so I did not try to learn any more about him and what property he owned. From what I learned on that trip, it appears that either he or A. J. may have occupied the property of the original Darr/Derr immigrant, Lorentz, (who purchased Peter Johnston's patent on 7 Nov. 1776). Next time I am in Lincoln County, I will be curious to see the file on J.W.'s estate to see what I can learn.

Thank you Kathy! Interesting references and as you say, they are affordable. Do you or does anyone know of any maps where one can plot the deeds? Are the original deeds, or have the original deeds been placed on maps? Gues that is a somewhat stupid question because I have seen some maps like that, but are those just because a specific researcher did that or are such maps in sany State records? If one could do that, one could follow the property, through time as state and county boundaries changed. Thank you and thank you for your work on recording court minutes.

The deeds and wills I have examined are not easy to interpret because they use stream names not currently used and they refer to neighboring properties by the names of then-current owners. We all grapple with the puzzles that Jack Darr describes. There is no one answer but a couple of resources are helpful. The following resource lists North Carolina streams and other geographical locations including those that are no longer used: William S. Powell, /The North Carolina Gazetteer: A Dictionary of Tar Heel Places/ (Chapel Hill: the University of North Carolina Press, 1968). This is a valuable resource that is still in print and available for a reasonable price. Deeds, wills, and other documents often refer to neighboring properties by the names of folks who were neighbors when the land entry was originally claimed. This could be (and usually was) many year earlier. Even though the neighboring property owners changed over the years, the person deeding or bequeathing the land naturally uses the description in his original title. Why? Because surveys cost money and many people don't want to incur the expense of a new survey. Thus, the land is described according to the original title and not by who is a current neighbor. The first thing to do is track the land back to when your ancestor acquired it. At each step collect the land description and the names of neighbors. Sometimes this goes as far back to a land patent as early as the 1760s. This is one of the research steps that reveals where an ancestor lived. Fortunately, Lincoln County researchers have many records abstracted or transcribed and indexed, such as Margaret Hofmann's abstracts of North Carolina land patents, Bruce Pruitt's abstracts of Lincoln County deeds, and my transcriptions of Lincoln County Court minutes.

Hi Jack: I notice you live in SF, and I live in Vallejo, only 32 miles away. I have two books, one on Old Mecklenburg Co. aster Anson Co., that went all the way to Tenn. 1763/1768. After 1768, it became Old Tryon Co., and covered from Burke Co., down into South Carolina, around Spartanburg or Greenville, and from where Mecklenburg is to the state of Franklin, Tenn. There are no Dar Der or Parr. in either books. The two books above show land grants granted during the time frame from 1763 to about 1784, when it became Lincoln Co., Rutherford, Cleveland, Gaston and part of Catawba Co. Contact the office of land records in Lincolnton Co., NC, and see if they have a land Grant for either spelling, and it will tell you exact location of the property.
