The following deed relates to land, which I believe was later located in Wake County, North Carolina:
Source: Johnston Count North Carolina Abstracts: Deed Books A-1, B-1, Transcript-1, D, D-1, 1759-1771 Vol. 1 by Weynette Parks Haun - #724 D-1: 226: 12 Nov 1764. Samuel Commander, Craven Co., So. Carolina to Joshua Suggs, Jo Co, N.C., 100# proc, 320 A (cng) on BS Walnut cr, beg at a Black oak Suggs cor: E160p to a pine: W360p to a pine & hickory: S100p to a burch in the afsd cr: down courses of sd cr to a poplar: to the 1st sta & is part of a tract granted to Theops. Hunter by Granville deed 28 Oct 1752...wit: Sarah Commander, James Olive+, Wm. Hodges.
Does anyone have information regarding Samuel Commander? Is there a relationship between the Sugg & Commander families or is the fact that Joshua Sugg purchased land from Samuel Commander just a coincidence? A check of earlier deeds reveals that Samuel Commander obtained land from Theophilus Hunter and Daniel Simmons.
Here is a deed for this same Samuel Commannder from Craven County, South Carolina (which is listed as his place of origin in the deed to Joshua Sugg):
Source: South Carolina Deed Abstracts 1719-1772, Vol 1 Abstracted by Clara A. Langley - Book Q, p. 34, 1 & 2, June 1736 L&R: Samuel Commander the younger, Elizabeth Commander, Elisha Screven & John Commander, to Josiah Smith, for 1540 Pounds currency for the use of Abigail, Dorothy, Frances & Rachel, daughters of Samuel Commander the elder; 2 plantations, total 770 a., in St. Thomas's Parish, Berkeley Co. Whereas Gov. Robert Gibbes & the Lords Proprs. on 28 June 1711 granted to Samuel Commander the elder 270 a. in St. Thomas Parish, Berkeley Co., on S. side Simmon's Creek out of Cooper River, bounding E on Robert Swetman; S. on richard Beresford; W on Samuel Commander; & on same date granted him 500 a. in same section, bounding N on SImmon's Creek; E on Samuel Commander; S&W on Richard Beresford; & whereas Samuel Commander the elder, by will dated 17 Sept. 1733, ordered the 2 tracts dols and the money divided equally amongst his 4 daughters; & shoudl any die before coming of age or before marriage that share to be divided amongst the survivors; & appointed his wife Elizabeth Commander, Elisha Screven & his sons Samuel & John Commander his executors; now they sell the 2 tracts to Smith. Witnesses: Joseph Commander, John McCants. Before John Wallis, J.P. Nathaniel Johnson, Register.
Samuel Commander's father was actually from northeastern North Carolina and possibly related to the Harvey family (colonial governors) and Tooke family. Does anyone have further information on this Samuel Commander and why he was interested in land in Johnston County, NC? Did he actually live in Johnston County at some point?
Thanks!
