From "Old Times" by Lynn Beedle, June 1981:
"Another deed (5th May 1789) records the earlier sale of the land (395 acres) that Samuel Lowry received as a grant from the State of North Carolina on the 25th October 1786 (See Samuel Lowry Page) by Samuel Lowry to his son William for 10 pounds and "in consideration of the love and good will that we share".
