I have a copy of a Royal Grant for 200 acres of land to James Sammons dated
28 November 1771.  The land was described as "Two hundred acres situate on a
dry branch of Thomson's Creek called Jamey's Creek in Craven county bounding
all sided on vacant land."  Reference Royal Grants Vol.. 24, page 398.

I also have copies of James Sammons memorial for the 200 acres dated 24 Feb
1772.  Reference Memorials Vol. 11, p 135#2 and the plat of the 200 acres
found in Colonial Plats Vol. 12, p 143 #3.

I also have a memorial exhibited by James Salller on 11 September 172 for
400 acres of land situated on Jamey's Creek in Craven County and bounded by
James Sammons land and vacant land.  Reference Memorials Vol. 11 p 412#1.

My questions are as follows;

1.  Where was this land located?  I know Craven County was probably the
northernmost colonial county but I could be mistaken.

2.  Does anyone know what happened to this James Sammons.  My Sammons line
comes from several James Sammons in Sussex County, VA through Hansel Sammons
in the Darlington District.

I will appreciate any information and assistance that anyone can give me and
will share what Sammons information that I have if anyone is interested.
