    1. [PACE] Cain's Mill Swamp

    3. I am seeking opinions from those who are familiar with Nash & Edgecombe Co, NC land deeds etc near John & Richard Pace who had land on Beaver Dam Swamp in 1759. There are many deeds in the area referring to Cain's Mill Swamp where James Cain had a mill. The name Beaver Dam Swamp still exists today and can be seen on modern maps; however Cain's Mill Swamp does not. It is my belief that Cain's Mill Swamp and Beaver Dam Swamp are one in the same judging from following abstract: Nash Deed 1-57 James Cain of Nash Co. to James Wall 6 Par 1779 for 160 pds 160 ac on south side Fishing Creek at the mouth of Beaver Dam Swamp adj Nathaniel Powell including the mill. Wit. Jonas Williams and James Merritt. I am not that familiar with the land in that area so I welcome opinions from those that are. Thanks John Pace
