Robert CROAN, Guilford Co., NC, 1780
I continue my search to find more info on Sarah Choron (Croan, Cohorn) who is listed as a co-administrator, with George Stewart, for the estate of Thomas Stewart who died in Guilford Co., NC, in 1794. Thomas was apparently single, and I am surmising that Sarah Choron (Croan) was a sister of Thomas and daughter of George Stewart?
Since Guilford Co. was part of Orange Co., NC, prior to 1771, I searched those records as well. Here is what else I find while searching this name:
Guilford Co., NC, land warrant records list a Robert CROAN:
May term, 1782, Guilford Co. Court: A deed from Robert CROAN to Thomas MAXWELL was proved in open court and ordered to be registered. Also, a deed from William Denny to Robert CROAN was proved in open Court and ordered to be registered.
Robert CROAN was also a chain carrier for surveyes in various land entries; one for Archibald Knight in Guilford Co. surveyed April 6, 1786; one on April 5, 1780, for a transaction by Joseph Jackson; and another on April 5, 1780 for a transaction by Ezekiel DeWeese.
DOES ANYONE KNOW THIS ROBERT CROAN?
In addition, I found records for a variant spelling of this name in the Abstracts of Wills for Orange Co., NC:
28 Oct 1775, proved May 1776. Will of Alexander COHARON; names wife Easter; sons eldest John and second son James; also Alexander and Samuel Coharon; daughters Minny (wife of Joseph Guy), Jean, Easter, and "Esibal."
Esibal (or Isabel) COHORN married John Cates in Orange Co., NC, on 31 Oct 1791.
ANY HELP is appreciated. Thank you.
