Dear Barclay Barkley cousins, desc of Robert Barkley m to Leah
Here is a helpful message left for me by Lynn G Ester on the Davidson Co message board about the location of some of the land of Robert Barkley in Old Rowan Co NC. It gives some clues to the parcel of land mentioned in Robert Barkley of Rowan Co NC's will. Recall the part about land left to son Samuel (m to Mary Davis).
Potts Creek

Surname: Barkley, Davis
I saw your message posted and thought I see if I could help. There is an old land grant map at the Love Learning Resource Center at the Davidson County Community College in Thomasville, NC. It lists old land grants. It has your Robert Bartley [sp.], 100 acres, 1788 borders the Yadkin River, Benjamin Davis, 166 acres, 1788, John Davis, 131 acres, 1784. Potts Creeks (there are two branches) runs off of the Yadkin River. One branch goes toward Churchland & Jubilee - actually in the middle of these two places. The other branch is west of Linwood going northwest. I could not find Richard's Creek, but that does not mean it's not there. I just can't locate it. The land grant map I'm talking about is quite large. I copied it in pieces at the NC State Library in Raleigh, NC in 1989. Since I am a local I'd be glad to call the Community College and see if they have a copy machine big enough to copy the map. Or perhaps you'd like to visit them when you are here. Just let me know. My e-mail address is: griffith 51@juno.com
Happy hunting,
Teddy Barclay Pope in Woodville, Tx, Tyler Co.
