Notes
a. Note:   There are records of a Nathan Rowland and James Rowland in Bertie & Edgecombe Co NC from about 1735 until 1753, but not proven that these are the same as below. (James could be a brother, son or other relative)
  Oct 31, 1761 Land grant for 700 acres by Earl of Granville in Johnston Co "on both sides of Turrable Creek including his own improvement for Complement" appears to be signed by Nathan Rowland witnessed by Thomas? Hunter; Note: this area became Wake Co in 1771 (grant gives him 12 months to return a survey and complete the grant � haven't found record that it ever happened but suspect that it did.)
  Wake County North Carolina, County Court Minutes, 1771-1784, Book 1 by Weynette Parks Haun 1993
 p. (38)-44 Sept 1772 The Court apppointed Nathan Roland Guardian to Lucey and Sarah Womack, Hardy Sanders and Turner Smith Securitys. (Suspect Nathan had married Sarah Womack, widow of John Womack and the father of these children; see notes for Sarah)
  1773 Nathan was a witness in Johnston County
  1777 Wake County "County Court Minutes: Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions" p 14 "That Nathan Rowland be Overseer from Terrible Creek to the County Line" He is among a long list of others named the same thing for different areas of Wake County.
  28 May 1777 Estate sale Buyers include Nathan Rowland and William Rowland

 SMITH. (suspect this was Nathan's step-son )
  1778 Oct 19 Warrant Issued: Nathan Roland enters four hundred acres of Land in Wake Co Lying on the south side of Terrible Creek Joining the Line of William Roland and Penual Penny
  1778 Nathan gives bond for the marriage of James Rowland to Edy Jones (was James a son of Nathan?)
  1779 Jan 7: William petitions for a grant for 400 acres on Terrible Creek adjoining Turner Smith's line. (this was after Nathan's petition of 1778 which mentioned joining the lines of Wm Rowland?) granted in 1780
  1780 Nathaniel Rowland from State of NC Grant #1722 393 acres on the south side of Turrible Creek, joining William Rowland and the various courses of said creek Wake Co (this would be next to the grant to Wm above) 29 March 1780 Grant Book 31, p. 291

  Sept 1789 p1 "Deed from Nathan Rowland to William Rowland ordered to be registered" no other info (am guessing this is the extra 20 acres that is the difference between what was granted to Wm and what was left in the survey to John, Nathan jr and young William, it would be the part along the dividing branch to the "old line")

  17 Feb 1798 Deed from Nathan Rowland to Turner Smith for 30 shillings 150 acres on a south side of Terrible Creek, beginning at the mouth of the first branch above the low ground field signed Nathan Rowland by his mark X (was he too weak to write?) this was recorded at March Session 1800 Deed Book Q p. 130
