Personal Information    |    Sources    |    Event Map    |    All

  • Name Benjamin SEAGRAVES 
    Birth Est Abt 1755  North Carolina Find all individuals with events at this location  [1] 
    • Benjamin's birth year is estimated from the first surviving record of him: on 21 Aug 1786 he was listed as a witness to a deed between Julious Johnson of Nash County, North Carolina (which is on the east edge of Wake County) and Natha Upchurch for 250 acres on Mocoson Creek for 40 Pounds. That suggests he might have been a grown man owing property (possibly in Wake County) and might have been in his early 30s. We estimate, if that is reasonable, that he might have been born about 1755. [1]
