I haven't seen that deed.Can you post an abstract of it?
Just guessing, I suspect the connection is more likely to be between Buckner Pace and Robert Abernathy, rather than between Buckner Pace and Thomas Crawford.Thomas Crawford ran a store -- an excellent way to acquire quite a lot of power over one's neighbors, in an area and a time when stores were few and ready money often scarce.Perhaps Buckner Pace was providing security for a debt Robert Abernathy owed to Crawford?Have to see the wording of the deed to interpret it.
Robert Abernathy was a son of John Abernathy, whose 1812 will (WB8 p79) mentioned Buckner Abernathy and Smith Abernathy (legatees and apparently sons though not so identified in the will).The will was witnessed by Richard Stith, son of Buckner Stith, so that's probably who Buckner Abernathy was named for.(Buckner Stith really did have a mother named Buckner.He was a son of Drury Stith and Elizabeth Buckner.)
Robert Abernathy's will (Lincoln Co NC, 1846) named four sons including another Buckner Abernathy.Robert Abernathy's presumed brother, Smith Abernathy, bought land in Wake Co NC adjoining Buckner Pace in 1807:
Nov 8, 1807Wake County Deed Book V:23
