JAMES FORBES DEED 23 APRIL 1719: Submitted by:  Bob Stokley 

James Forbes and his wife, Alice (Clason) Forbes were the first Forbes to settle in what is now Camden County. He migrated there from Accomac County on Virginia's Eastern Shore in 1701. In October, 1715 he received a grant of 532 acres "on ye N. East side of the Pasquotank River, joining a Beaver Dam Swamp". On April 23, 1719, he divided his property among his four sons, James, Jr., Bailey, Thomas and Edward. It actually reads more like a will than a deed. The following deed abstract is from Gwen Bjorkman's "Pasquotank County, NC Record of Deeds, 1700-1751".

***********************************

"...in consideration of the love and good affection I bear towards my loveing sons viz James Forbes, jun, Bailey Forbes, Thomas Forbes and Edward Forbes having given...one hundred acres of land to each son, that is for the first three sons & to the youngest 132, as I shall now mention. I give to my son James 100 acres of land on which he is now situated, called by the name of Beaver Dam Neck, & to my son Bailey 100 acres of land, called Great Neck and Little Neck , & to my son Thomas 100 acres of land called Poplar Neck & to my son Edward I give the Manor Plantation with 132 Acres thereunto belonging after his father and mother decease, & also I give unto my son Bailey a young blk heifer & her furture increase when he is situated on his land; but he must bear the loss in the mean time...

The following is a land grant to John Trueblood and Amos Trueblood in 1694. (The area mentioned as best as I can determine is in present day Camden County in the Whitehall Shores area.) John and Amos were the sons of John Trueblood and Agnes (Fisher) Trueblood, the first Truebloods in America, who migrated to the "Colony of Carolina" from England in 1682. The grant is on microfilm in the NC State Archives but the original apparently has been lost.
