Hi, Could someone out there tell me about the "Truce Land" between the Pee Dee and the North Carolina State Line that was agreed upon by Treaty by Marion and Gainey in 1782? I was recently in Raleigh and ran across and old document complaining about the Tories coming out of the Truce Land into Bladen [now Robeson] Co NC and committing war like acts towards the Whig citizens. Evidently, the Patriots could chase them to the state line, and then apparently had to stop. By estimation in 1782 there were about one hundred Tory families that moved across the state line into the Truce Lands. Could anyone tell me who were these families, and more about this Treaty and Truce Lands? Sam West Lumberton, NC
