Notes


On March 15, 1755, Fergus purchased 640 acres of land from John Oliphant, a land speculator, who had received the grant from Lord Granville two years prior. This proved to be a significant purchase for Fergus Sloan. In 1789 about 50 acres of his land were purchased for the Town of Statesville for 12 shillings an acre which amounted to the grand sum of $200 in today's currency. Previously, he had deeded a portion of his land for the " use and benefit of the Presbyterian Society, commonly called the Fourth Creek Congregation Society,"......."with the privilege of the spring." This deed also included the burying ground adjoining the Fourth Creek Church. The knoll behind the Fourth Creek Church was the site of the first log courthouse which opened in 1790.@S7@
