Nathaniel Clark and his wife Agnes of Camden Dist.,
to Samuel Denton of same, 300 acs. on E side of Broad River, granted to
Nathaniel
Clark, 25 Nov. 1771 by Gov. Josiah Martin of N.C., joining lands of
Guyon
Moore, Palmer & Jones, including part of an S.C. grant
dated 20 Apr 1763. Wit: Henry Smith, John Moore, Mary Gardner.
Also from the Grantor/Grantee index from York County, SC, Book A, page
280. |
Traditionally, the second witness signing a will or deed is looking out
for the interests of the wife (the first witness being allied with the
husband), so it may be worth looking for an Agnes MOORE. Nathaniel's
brother, Ryderus, got an SC grant on the same day, 20 Apr 1763, for land
on both sides of Turkey Ck., which is in York Co., east of the Broad River.
