    The editor made a cursory search of all deed books, 1 through 6,
(1779-1796) for Randolph County, and the General Indexes to Deeds,
Grantor-Grantee, for a much larger period.  The same was done with
respect to Guilford County deeds.  The above were the only two noted.

    The above Jacob Hollingsworth, wife Mary, are believed to be the
same who later settled (about 1796) in Franklin County, Georgia, go-
ing there from Buncombe County, North Carolina. (See page 15, Deed 2.)
