There is a good chance that the plat in question is related to land described on page 143 of the Motes Book and shown on Map 9, page 140. The Motes Book describes a Survey, a Memorial, and a sale of land owned by Wm. Hasel Gibbs. All 3 describe the same piece of land. The following is a quote from the Motes Book. Memorial by William Gibbes; 750 acres (being a part of 3 tracts of 2000 acres) in Craven County on waters of Little Saludy called Mudlick and Beaverdam Fork. Bounded NW by James Lucas, John Chestnut, and vacant land; SW by James Burgess; SE by John Fountain and James North. Survey certified 9 Jan. 1772 and granted 15 May 1772. Quit rent to commence in 2 years. Signed 26 June 1772 Richard Winn D. S. Delivered to William Williamson. The Survey states that the plat map shows John Fountain and James Motes. This survey was in 1771. The land was sold to William Williamson in 1772. Map 9 on page 140 shows the land to be at the headwaters of Norths Creek, a branch of Mudlick. It is also called Mill Creek on other maps. Map 9 indicates that James Motes purchased the Wm. Marsh property via Thos. North. Map H on page 210 of the Motes Book shows more details of the Gibbs, Williamson, and James Motes property. ----- Original Message ----- From: "brenda compton" <bmcompton2000@yahoo.com> To: <SCLAUREN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, September 28, 2005 3:38 AM Subject: [SCLAUREN] Re: Neighbors on an old Plat > Hello, does anyone have any of these deeds of these > men.
