Sarah King (daughter of Wm 5, Wm4, Wm3, Rob2) left the
land in Martin Co, North Carolina, where she and her
husband, David, had lived,  to her 6 brothers: James,
John, Henry, Thomas, Whitmell and Blount. These are 3 of
those deeds. James sold his 1/6 earlier to Thomas,  but
we don't know what happened to Whitmell and Blount's
portion. This needs to be traced....It is interesting to
note that although the original sell was in Jan 1819, it
is not recorded until 1822.
