Deed of Sale, but for land, not people. John Jones and wife Judith sell a 600 acre property to Thomas Walker, “for consideration of one negro woman named Moll and her child named Charles”. The property is described as being “where Jones formerly lived near Bertie Old Court House.” A note mentions that Jones had previously transferred one acre where the court house is. Signed May 3, 1750.
