Written: December 27, 1797

Transcriber's note.  This tract of land most likely represents the first piece
of land purchased by Peter Graybeal/Graybill upon arriving in North Carolina.
All of the paper work leading up to this deed is actually filed among
Wilkes County records, however the deed is filed in Ashe County, Book A, page
34.  The filed copy of the deed contains and error in the very last line. The word 
"seven" has been omitted following the word "ninety" Paperwork describing the 
grant confirms that the issue date should be 27 December 1797.

The Wilkes County grant # is 1492, but apparently it was changed to 2492 to
denote it as an Ashe County grant. The entry (#507) for this tract was first
made in October 30, 1794.
