Pat, Reading your note in regards to Peter Reagan Sr. you explianed that the gentleman in Warren Co. NC court archives said Peter would have been 18 since he was listed on a tax list. I recently found out that in Colonial times, the Head of HH was at least 21 being taxed, and the males in the HH "16" yrs and over were also taxed. So since Peter was listed in 1766 tax list (IF listed for the FIRST time) he would have been 16. Therefore that would put his birthdate at abt 1750. You stated that Peter was listed on both 1766 and 1771 tx list in Bute. Was h the head of HH or was he in the HH of Charles and sons? How many sons did this Charles have according to tax list? Pat, I have only info on Peter Reagan Sr back to 1779 when he is in Wilkes Co. NC buying a land grant 100 acres on Naked creek. If you have additional info on him and his family/parents prior to 1779, including the Charles and Henry, & Thomas Reagan you mention, I would appreciate any material you can share with me. Thanks!

My fathers side of the family is Story and his line came out of VA also. As of yet have not tied the Joshua Storie and the Thomas Story lines together. Although there was a Thomas Storie in Wilkes Co. NC. There were Guins, Storie, Reagan etc that were in Wilkes Co. before going into Fentress, think all of them went there about the same time. Think I know the Peter you are speaking of, is it the one that was the son of Michael? After talking with you about this a couple of years ago, tried to find some information. And best I can determine is that this Michael was supposed to have come out of Maryland. Have not found any proof of this, talked to a couple of researchers and that is what they thought. Found our Peter Reagan on the 1766 tax list in Bute Co. and then again in 1771, on the list it said Charles and Sons and then named some of the Riggan/Reagan thought possibly that Peter was his son. Asked the gentleman in charge of the archives in Warren Co. court house and he said that if he was on the tax list then he was already 18 yrs old which moved his birth date back to at least 1748. After the 1771 tax list then found him in Rowan Co. on a tax list (which I have misplaced) and signed up for Rev. War in 1774. With him in this area at the time was Thomas Reagan. Believe he was living in Wilkes area but at that time it was Rowan. Jemima Reagan daughter of Charles Reagan in VA think she married George Oliver, but she named one of her sons Peter and think George and Jemima moved into Orange Co. NC which would have been close to Wilkes. The Henry Reagan in Overton Co. was the grandson of this Charles Reagan. An this same Henry was witness to land records for our Reagan family. So our Peter Reagan has lived around the Charles Reagan line and the Daniel Regan line. But still cannot figure out which line he is from or if these 2 lines are connected. Have land records for the Storie family in Wilkes, if you will give me your address or P.O. Box will send what information I have. Have a great day!

J.W., I will offer what I have found in various sources in hunting for Peter Reagan. Pat may have other or fuller details. I would love to have corrections and additions. I can't figure out how the Charles and Henry fit in exactly. And I don't know anything about Thomas.: Peter Riggin is listed with one white poll in the 1771 Bute Co, NC tax list. Peter Rigan and John Bowdown were witnesses December 22, 1772, in DB5 p. 288 Warren Co, NC, to John Rigan of Bute Co, to James Baskett, 25 pounds VA money for 121 acres in Bute Co on BS Great Fishing Creek, crossing at Piney Branch adj. Williams. Proved by John Bowdown, Bute August Court, 1775, Ben McCulloch, C.C. Reg: 12 October, 1775 by Jas. Johnson, P. R. In 1777-79 in Dobbs Co, NC Peter Riggins sold land to Micajah Hart (11:412). Few records are available for Dobbs Co, NC, but there is a list of land grants and an index to the now lost deeds. Micajah Hart is listed in 1780 tax list of Dobbs as in District 6 (near Snow Hill and Hookerton). Perhaps that is the site of the Riggins piece of land. 1779: Peter Riggins had 250 acres on Rich Fork of Abbotts Creek adjoining Jesse Gilliam and John Roberts for Compliment. From Rowan Co Vacant Land Entries 1778-1789. Lord Granville had a 60 mile strip along the border of NC with the south edge about the place where Rowan County north line is today. Granville died in 1763. Settlers had no legal title until the NC land office opened in 1778. Deed were recorded 15 years later than when people first settled in some cases. Land entry for Peter Riggen, Entry #2140, March 20, 1779--entering 250 acres of land in Rowan Co., NC on the Rich Fork of Abbott's Creek joining Jesse Gillom and John Roberts for compliment. Land entry for Peter Riggen, Entry #2844, January 29, 1785--entering 210 acres of land in Rowan Co on Jamey's Creek, waters of Abbott's Creek, joining Richardson Owen at the southwest corner. (Today on I-85 South in Rowan County Abbots creek is named.) November, 1779 Richard Jordan Mitchell and Hugh Leek lived adjacent to Peter Reggins in Rowan Co. According to one source Peter Reagan Sr. and Charles Reagan b. 1734 in Shenandoah Co, VA (d. Blount Co, TN in 1815) called each other "cousin."
