John Richards 1738

I’m pretty thrilled over this find! It is a mention of my earliest Richards in Jones County, North Carolina.

From the December 20, 1790 edition of The Encyclopedian Instructor (Edenton, North Carolina), page 3:

I state to correct certain patents, or grants in the described, where there have been errors by the surveyor or in making the returns, or by the secretary issuing the same.…for making conformable to the plan the second course of a tract of land lying in Jones county, formerly Craven, granted by patent to John Richards, bearing date the 24th day of November, 1738, containing 300 acres on both sides of Trent river.

Can you hear me squealing with excitement!?
