      What this writer has is a collection of notes without proof of where they belong.

      Mechlenburg County, NC Deed Book 4:491-3, 27 Feb 1768 William Diehl/Deal bought 400 acres on Clarks Creek from Nicholas Fry (perhaps William Deal, Jr.'s father-in-law?)."

      Lincoln, NC Deed Book 16:105, 30 Jun 1790 Rudolph Conrad and John Hasselberer, Excrs. of William Deal, deceased, sold 400 acreas on Clark's Creek granted 28 Oct 1782; one note says he was b. 8 Jun 1742 Maryland d. 16 Nov 1789 NC.
