Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of North Carolina, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That it shall and may be lawful for the said James Craige to sell and dispose of three hundred and fifty-five acres of said lands, lying on the south side of the Yadkin river, known by the name of number seventeen, and three hundred and seventy-five acres of said land, lying on the waters of Abbot's creek, known by the number thirty-eight, and to make conveyances in fee simple for the same to the purchasers thereof, thereby conveying to each purchaser and their heirs respectively, by virtue of the power given by this Act, all the right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever therein and thereto, of what the said David Craige died seized and possessed:.
