Written: August 1, 1805
Recorded: 1809

Note: This individual is most certainly the son of Peter
Graybeal and Christina Wampler. It is likely that he may 
have turned 21 years of age shortly before he bought the land.
In February of 1809 John sells this tract to his brother 
Henry. (see Book D, page 104) It was about this time that 
several families from Ashe County, notably the Hensons
moved to Kentucky, settling in Clay and Madison Counties there.
After the sale in 1809 John disappears from the records until 
1834 when he buys land in Jackson County, Ohio. 
I suspect that John went to Kentucky with the Hensons and 
other families. He however does not appear in the 1810 census
for either Clay or Madison County.
