• Notes

  Prior to the War of Revolution, a father and five children came from England to America. Two of the sons fell fighting with the colonial army for American independence. One of the remaining three was numbered among the founders of the Mechlenberg colony in NC." Appears to have reached majority by 1737 (land left to brother is left in a trust) - Cashed out circa 1739 having already migrated 50 miles to the south to Edgecombe Precinct, NC. Began acquiring land in the Halifax/Edgecombe, NC area - source Clay Abrams. Subsequent to their father's death, the two sons (Edward and William) moved to Halifax Co., NC. Records of several Halifax/Edgecombe Co. deed transactions exist for both men. On 19 Feb 1744 Nathaniel Cooper sold Edward Gulledge, both of Edgecombe Co, [NC] for 9 pounds current Virginia money 200 acres more or less adjoining Capt. Joseph Lane (formerly Col. Barnaby McKinnie), Thomas Merritt and lower Jumping Run, part of a patent to Cooper for 400 acres on 25 Jun 1743. Witnesses were Mckinnie and John Strickland.
