Commentary

1This appears to be an instance of the term "Junior" being used to differentiate between an older and a younger person of the same name, i.e. James Reeves' son Malachi, not the older Malachi Reeves, James' brother.

The deed is one of several executed by James in the early 1760s in which he was apparently selling his property in Granville County prior to his removal to the area of Rowan County which within a few years became Guilford.
