Gladys,
Thanks. I would appreciate receiving a xerox copy of the Sylvester
McGowan - Mary Potter deed. Thanks very much.
Who do the other deeds concern? Could you give me a list of the
Grantors / Grantees, the dates and the locations of the land involved?
Maybe they will be of interest to some of the others on the Carawan or
Hyde County mailing list. Thanks,
John
PS - My address is:

Mack, I have an original deed that I found in my deceased father's strongbox
dated Jan. 6, l882, wherein a Sylvester McGowan and wife, Eleanor, sold
property via a quit claim deed to one Mary Potter. This deed and property
was in Pamlico County, N.C. I don't know if this is of interest to you or
not.
My father had approximately a dozen old deeds of the Beaufort/Pamlico
County area. Much of it land that he eventually purchased and farmed for
many years prior to his death in l974. The deeds date back to l797. I have
found much information in them via witnesses and land descriptions. Let me
know if anything of this nature interests you.

I am researching info. on Gibbs, Henry, Carawan, Watson, White, Brown,Hopkins
& Lupton. Most of them lived in Hyde Co. before migrating to
Beaufort/Pamlico Co.
