Contributors Note:  The Grices, Deans and Cooks owned large tracts of land 
along Contentnea Creek, Hwy. 42 W. and the Old Raleigh road west of Wilson and 
east of I 95.   References to Popular Spring branch and Shepard's branch are 
frequently seen in Cook and Grice deeds of the period. This area, known as the 
Old Fields (various spellings) district was taken from Nash County in 1856 to 
form a part of the new County of Wilson.
