Edmond Deens

Edmond Deens by Christopher Dean
It is the common belief that Edmond was the son of Jeremiah and Molley Deens of Nash County, North Carolina. Jeremiah makes his debut into public record (the earliest that I am aware of anyway) in 1771 when he purchases 57 acres of land on the south side of Turkey Creek in Nash County from a gentleman named Cornelius Taylor. This deed is proved by the oath of a man named William Andrews. Both of these names will continue to surface in this story throughout Jeremiah’s life. The exact location of this land is not known, but it assumed to have been near Little Turkey Creek in Nash County

Oct 25, 1782: Grant from the State of North Carolina: "State of North Carolina grants to Jeremiah Deens by Gov. Alex. Martin a tract of 242 acres on Little Turkey Creek adjoining Wm Braswell, Jacob Carter, Simon Williams, Daniel Taylor, Edward Pursell."
