Bobbie T. Teague, Cane Creek: Mother of Meetings, (1995; North Carolina Yearly Meeting of Friends) (Danville, IN Public Library):
p.14
"Land grants in the area (Cane Creek) were recorded as early as 1749. George William's land grant for 645 acres on the north side of Cane Creek was recorded on May 17 of that year. In 1750 two grants were made from the "Earl of Granville's province--Anson or Bladen County." Anthony Chamness was granted 490 acres of land on "Cain Creek" and John Pike was granted 280 acres, also on Cane Creek. John Wright claimed 404 acres on the north side of Cane Creek joining James Williams' property. Four years later in 1754, John Stanfield was granted 203 acres on a branch of Cane Creek. In that same year on May 30, John Jones was granted 632 acres, "lying on a branch of Cain Creek to John Wright's line (Griffin History 2)."
"Each land grant carried the names of the chain bearers and the surveyors. In all probability these men would have lived in the general area, thus providing a more complete list of settlers' names."
