Donnie Seth Carawan is a good friend of mine and a grandson of Alvin Rufus
Carawan. Donnie has prepared a history of the WM Alpheus Family but I do not
know where my copy of that document is. If one can depend on records of the
birth Wm. Alpeus' children, Nancy L Carawan, daughter of Wm. Alpheus
Carawan was born and died in Lowland, NC on 9/8/1869. There is a Goose
Creek Island Book and Wm Alpheus is in there two or three times and with
different names. Wm Alpheus and my great great grand father registered at
Mesic in the Permanent Registeration initiative but I dont' remember the
date. It was between 1902 and 1908. If it is really important a call to
Donnie should get you a prompt answer. PS. I don't have his phone number

In the Grantee Index-General Index to Deeds and Mortages, Pamlico Co., NC
from 1872 to 1954 the first entry is found for William A. Carrawan(et
als) as grantee with Sorrowful and Mary M. Emery as grantors. Deed filed
1887, Bk 14, p. 546.
Another entry is for W. A. Carawan as grantee with Smith J. Wise as
grantor. Deed filed 1887 Bk 14, p. 547..
I do not have a copy of either deed. So sometime in 1887 is probably about
the time William Alpheus moved to Lowland.
