NOTE: This is the same land conveyed, on the same day, to
James Holder by Harberd Gilman, both formerly of Bertie but
by now of Johnston Co., NC. James' wife is Elizabeth Gilman.
James and Elizabeth paid Harberd 100 pounds and then sold it
to John Kittrell for 165 pounds. I believe that Harberd and
Elizabeth may have been siblings and that this is land
inherited by them. Probably at the death of their mother.
