| Description |
The following deed of record in Salisbury, Rowan County, North Carolina: Jacob Hincle Planter Grantee, Earl of Granville, Grantor, Book for year 1753-1754 [date of deed March 1755] Land in Parish of St. Luke, County of Rowan, beginning at White Oak on Squire Been's line in the Forks of the Yadkin ........six hundred fifty six acres. No disposition of this land found but owing to the hasty departure due to the depredations of the hostile Indians it is not too difficult to surmise that Jacob was in difficult circumstances when he arrived in Virginia. In "Early Settlers" of Rowan County, North Carolina by Eugene H. Bean, he records Jacob Henkle as a settler of 1753. This probably would indicate the date of his land entry and possibly the time of his marriage. His son, Reverand Paul in his autobiography stated the first winter at the Fort his father worked as a carpenter during the day and at the shoemakers trade of evenings and in this way provided for his family. |
