Andersons of Colonial N. Carolina

This Post is a spawn of my Walnut Creek Study.  Getting sidetracked is why I never finish anything…     I also think I am guilty of what I accuse others of…that being explaining how to build a clock when all that is asked is “what time is it”?  So I will try to keep it simple… which is near impossible for me to do, no matter how hard I try.  For good or bad, I see Games within Games or perhaps I just think I do.

The GAP is the red area between the patents of William Deloach and Francis Griffis. The GAP is several hundred acres of land that was never patented…it just “somehow” got surveyed and sold off as deeds. (That is impossible if it has never been patented). The surveyors who were responsible for that was John Haywood and his son William Haywood. They were crooks.

The only way to prove that is with maps… which is what I am doing  (see my Walnut Creek Study).

I bitch and moan about all that crookedness which gets old and tiresome after a while.  I too like good news.  I also have a marvelous good time exposing crooks.

The deed below is one of those deeds that “somehow” showed up in that Red Gap.  But if that was/is impossible, then how did William Deloach manage to sell it in 1763?

Deloach did it because he had balls the size of coconuts.  He had Grit.  He wern’t skeered of a damn thing.  He got tired of taking crap from crooks.  I have a sneaking suspicion he was probably one of the boys in Edgecombe around 1758/1759 who dug up the grave of John Haywood and then pissed in it.

The deed he penned in 1763 is so full of Common Law I was taken aback in amazement when I read it.  The men in his circle had to have been reading Edward Coke.  At first I thought it was Blackstone… but it was too early for Blackstone.

Deloach sold that land because he dared anyone to tell him he could not… and no one did.  Folks got his drift in 1776.

If you are still with me in this rather Geeky Post…then here is my full blown version of that deed.  Thomas Jefferson studied Edward Coke in detail.  This was “cutting edge” stuff that led to the American Revolution.  My point of highlighting Mr. Deloach is that he was a simple man who got tired of being pushed around and put on his Big Boy pants.
