Title and grant references

• Proved at the August 1815 court (OCPQS 9/82)

From the bracketed notes in Mark Chilton’s deed-book posts. OCPQS is the minutes of the Orange County Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions; RegLn is a line of the colonial Register of Orange.

Published abstract by Mark Chilton, Orange County Register of Deeds: Orange County Deed Book 15 (look for ODB 15/130). Our record above is drawn from it.

Notes for researchers

• On this page, Chilton’s abstracts may give a deed the parties of its neighbor: UNC Greensboro’s catalog of slave deeds disagrees with them here, and on pages checked against the deed images the catalog was right. Check the deed image before relying on the parties.
