      North Carolina had a law granting land only to people who came into the c
      olony to live on the land. Applications, however were received in advan
      ce of the actual removal. We have noted that in 1753 Robert Davis made t
      he statement in Augusta county that he planned to leave the colony. It w
      as about this date or the next year at the latest that he arrive in the Wa
      xhaw Section, along with others from the same area in Augusta County. T

      cluded most of western N.C.
