It gives some clues to the parcel of land mentioned in Robert Barkley of Rowan Co NC's will. Recall the part about land left to son Samuel (m to Mary Davis). Potts Creek Posted by Lynn G. Ester on Mon, 24 Jul 2000, in response to Looking for Potts Creek and Richard's Creek?, posted by Teddy Barclay Pope on Sun, 23 Jul 2000 Surname: Barkley, Davis I saw your message posted and thought I see if I could help. There is an old land grant map at the Love Learning Resource Center at the Davidson County Community College in Thomasville, NC. It lists old land grants. It has your Robert Bartley [sp.], 100 acres, 1788 borders the Yadkin River, Benjamin Davis, 166 acres, 1788, John Davis, 131 acres, 1784. Potts Creeks (there are two branches) runs off of the Yadkin River. One branch goes toward Churchland & Jubilee - actually in the middle of these two places. The other branch is west of Linwood going northwest. I could not find Richard's Creek, but that does not mean it's not there. I just can't locate it. The land grant map I'm talking about is quite large. I copied it in pieces at the NC State Library in Raleigh, NC in 1989. Since I am a local I'd be glad to call the Community College and see if they have a copy machine big enough to copy the map. Or perhaps you'd like to visit them when you are here. Just let me know.

Posted on: Falls County Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/Falls?read=478 Surname: Barkley, Barclay ------------------------- I am of the impression that there were early settlers in Falls County descended from possibly two sons of Robert Barkley m to Leah of Rowan Co NC; Walter and Samuel. There also may have been some descendants of a daughter of Robert and Leah Barkley in Falls county by another surname. These Barkley Barclays are well written up on these websites; Tyler Co Genealogical Society, Tyler County website, genforum.com Barclay and Barkley, Rowan County NC, Barclay Bastion and Clan Barclay. You may find all of these websites without their actual addresses by using a strong search engine, such as Google.com, and putting in these words in the blank for search.
