Deed 9-59, Mecklenburg County, NC - Charles (H) and Clara (X) Hart to Charles Keagle [Cagle], being 115 acres on the “fork of Plumb Run and Hamby’s Branch.” Shaded in green, the metes and bounds on this and later conveyances of this tract do not construct a closed shape. Looking at surrounding lands, an error in direction of one line can be deduced. Instead of running 80 degrees north the line in question should run 8 degrees. The metes and bounds are: from a R. O. north 70 west 80 to stake, north 8 west 170 to Hic., south 82 east 140 to W. O., south 12 west 178 to begin.

"Over a decade later, on 27 Oct 1782,a warrant (Grant 3510 Mecklenburg NC) issued to Charles Hart identifies adjoining landowners as David Caigle and “Burdick Howell.” Located a little further north, Charles Hart’s land was situated on both sides of Rocky River just above the lands of Joseph Howell. Within two years after being warranted, the survey for the land no longer mentioned Burdick Howell. "
