William Hope in 1781
On 22 March 1781 William Simpson assigned his NC land warrant to Richard Green. Roger Russ? and William Hope were witnesses. Unfortunately the document has no indication of where the sale occured. Does anyone recognize these gentlemen or have any idea where they were living at the time? Most likely they were somewhere in NC but where?
The land being sold was near Blackwater Creek and the Clinch river in what is today Hancock Co., TN.
