(don’t let that deed reference to the little creek “Falling Run” throw you off because it is shown on modern maps over near Swift Creek because (and I’m not certain) there also was another little creek with the same name in the old deeds near William Horn’s property South of Tar River near the old Battle property… the deed references to Thomas Pollock makes me suspect it was associated nearer to south Tar River (that Pollock was a descendant of the “war” governor of 1711)…. this stuff is maddening.)

I’m not sure where this property was?  I think it could be at either question mark… is this the same Murphy that shows up also in South Carolina?
