This abstracted deed may be of interest to persons of North Carolina descent of Granville co., NC and later of Person Co., NC where Samuel Sneed and his wife Jane [Dudley] both died testate. The Jeters may have migrated elsewhere than North Carolina, and the Andrew Lea family [aka Lee] are found intermittently in Caswell Co. NC records. Stephen Sneed, the Sneed son, was married to Mary Williams, dau. of John Williams, Sr. of Granville Co., NC, formerly of southside Virginia--Goochland Co. and later Cumberland Co. prior to migrating to Granville Co. According to the introduction to these Nottoway records is a statement that Nottoway was created by an Act of Assembly December 22, 1788 from Amelia Co. The author William Clayton Torrence gives a lengthy statement concerning these records, which will not be repeated here.

Hi... Is this the Stephen (K) Sneed whose name often appears on wills, etc. from Granville Co? He's not my ancestor but I've seen his name often.
