    3. "Bearing date 28 August 1772. [Please note that information on first and second tracts was deleted] The third tract consisted of 242 acres "On the branches of Rowan swamp Joining the Other land herein mentioned Beginning by the side of the broad Branch Hardy Stevens Corner." Deed mentions Rowan Swamp Marsh, the patent line, Clinton's line, and "the marsh of the broad Branch." Land was "granted to Richard Stevens by patent Bearing date (28 February 1775) and since sold and conveyed to (sic) the said Richard Stevens to the said Charles Chesnutt By Deed Bearing date" 18 March 1780. Deed states that the total number of acres conveyed was 401 acres, "Two Acres of which is to be deducted out of the said land being a lot laid off Called the meeting House Lott which was heretofore deeded to Joshua Sikes as trustee for the Baptist society including the meeting house Now Built thereon the Remainder Being (399) Acres land more or less." I am looking for information regarding the above-named "Meeting House Lott" and Joshua SIKES, trustee of the Baptist Society, etc. Thanks for any information.
