GRANTOR: 460 William Thames
GRANTEE: David Thames
LOCATION: West River 100a-40a North, Cumberland County, NC
SOURCE: Cumberland County, NC Deed Book 20 PAGE: 121-122 (February term, 1804)
DATE: June 7, 1803
NOTES:
- Walt Gabennesch - "In my opinion Jesse Thames could not have come by this land after the death of his Uncle Samuel unless it went through Jesse's father Joseph, the brother of the deceased Samuel. The law of primogeniture should apply. Upon the death of the underage Samuel the land would revert back to the oldest surviving heir which in this case must have been Joseph the father of Jesse. I think this was a copying error."
