These are the earliest Whitaker records found at this point in Rowan Co. N.C.. The area was located just south of Lexington in what is now Davidson Co. Moses Teague is Mark, Jr.'s Whitaker's first cousin.
The above grants to Mark, Jr. appear to have been part of a settlement of Maryland families (friends and neighbors, who migrated to NC in the mid-1750-60s) on Granville grants in the Reedy Creek area of Rowan.
