Title and grant references
- Proved at the November 1800 court, 27 November 1800 (OCPQS 6/104)

Published abstract by Mark Chilton, Orange County Register of Deeds: Orange County Deed Book 9 (look for ODB 9/138). 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.
