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.
