TRUEBLOOD, JOHN and AMOS

LAND GRANT 1694:

The following is a land grant to John Trueblood and Amos Trueblood in 1694. (The area mentioned as best as I can determine is in present day Camden County in the Whitehall Shores area.) John and Amos were the sons of John Trueblood and Agnes (Fisher) Trueblood, the first Truebloods in America, who migrated to the “Colony of Carolina” from England in 1682. The grant is on microfilm in the NC State Archives but the original apparently has been lost.

Know Ye that We have granted unto John Trueblood and Amos Trueblood, between them the s’d John Trueblood and Amos Trueblood to be holden severally a Tract of Land containing Six hundred acres lying on the Westward side of the Northernmost branch of Aranuse Creek in Pascotank prc. & Beginning at a Beech by the S& Branch side the corner tree of John Archdale Esq. thence up ye s’d Branch by Various courses to a White Oak, then West twenty degrees North two hundred and eighty poles to a gum, then South five degrees East three hundred forty six poles to a Maple, then East twenty degrees South three hundred and twenty poles to the first Station, To Hold Ye Giver from the first day of Janry 1694.

Dear Miss Maggie

I Suppose you think my promises are indeed like pie crust made to be broken but I can assure you such is not the case, and as I promised to write you I will now make good that promise, and sincerely hope that I may gain back the favor of your esteem, and may I not say love, for if you know how much I have suffered within the past three or four weeks in regard to your answer which I had so fondly hoped would be in my favour, that I know your simpathising nature would pity me and I hope reconsider the matter and make me a happy man by saying you will be all my own.

I know that marriage is a matter that we should well consider before we enter into its holy bonds and that happiness in after life depends on whether our love is of that purity that the changes through which we must pass cannot deface, And now Miss Maggie I can safely say that if you can trust your happiness in my keeping, it shall be sacredly guarded with the love of a true and faithful heart.

Hoping that you will not keep me long in suspense, but will answer immediately and favorably I remain

Yours truly & Sincerely

H. B. Sutton
