| Notes for Thomas Black | ||||||||
| Thomas owned land on the Broad River in
what was then Tryon County, but became Lincoln County. A Thomas Black purchased 200 acres in Mecklenburg County on 23 November 1762.7 I am not positive that this is the same Thomas Black, but it very well could be. Thomas received a land grant for 150 acres in Tryon County on 23 April 1767.412 In 1769 he sold 251 acres to Richard Ward.253 On 20 January 1771 Thomas and his wife Elizabeth sold the 150 acres on "both sides of the Little Broad River above Conaway's" that they had been granted in 1767.412 The cost was 5 pounds sterling. In 1771 he and others were charged by the Tryon Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions with laying out the road from Worlocks (Warlicks) Mill to King's Mountain.253 In 1773 he was ordered to serve as overseer of that same road "in that part between Indian Creek and Long Creek".253 On 26 April 1774 he purchased 100 acres, also in Tryon County, from Alexander Kyle.253 He died in 1779 when he was only in his late thirties.
