Written: April 27, 1799
Recorded: 1809

Note: This may be the first piece of land that Peter Graybeal Sr
bought in this part of Ashe County though his name is referenced 
in a deed dated 25 March 1797 between Abraham May to Luke White. 
The phrase "conditional line [of] Peter Grabill" could mean that
Peter was already living on this tract but had not offically 
purchased it from Abe May. This tract is in the vicinity of
where Big Horse Creek empties into New River.
