• One female between 16-25, therefore, born between 1784 and 1775;

February 4, 1807

In a grant entered February 4, 1807, Jesse Allen and William Hampton were granted a 200 acre tract described approximately as, “… beginning on Richard Allen’s corner”.  The recordation in Book 123, p.213, further describes the tract as adjacent to the properties of ‘Canadey’, {sic. Kennedy}, and James Tompkins.  In other subsequent pages, the property is further described as beginning on the corner of Richard Allen’s 80 acre tract.

On September 29,  1803, Richard Allen was granted 80 acres, “… on the Little Buggabo Creek …”.((File 2113, Book: 117 pg: 24, Grant no.: 2386, Entered: 28 Oct 1800, Entry no.: 1052.))  In total, between 1778 and 1831, there were not less than seventeen grants to Richard Allen summing to over two thousand acres in Wilkes County — most of these grants were in the area surrounding Bugaboo Creek. 

The metes and bounds property description indicates that Richard Allen, Jr. and Jeremiah Caudell were the survey chain carriers, as signified by the indication of C.C. next to their names.

In 1808, William Hampton sold Jereimiah Caudill 140 acres of land (see below).  Without knowing if Hampton owned yet other properties, it’s possible that some of this 200 acres was parceled and sold to Jeremiah {inconclusive}.

Richard Allen, Jr. was Jesse Allen was Richard Allen’s brother.  Richard Allen married Sarah Hampton, William Hampton’s sister.  This grant was being presented to Sarah’s brother William and her brother-in-law, Jesse.  Richard Allen, Jr. and Sarah Hampton Allen are buried at the White Plains Baptist Church Cemetery in Roaring River, NC.  The church is but a mile from the Little Bugaboo Creek so it all fits quite neatly.
