NOTE: Essentially all early records of Johnston County are lost. Part of Johnston County became Dobbs County, whose records are also lost. Part of Dobbs became Wayne County, whose records are mostly complete from its formation in 1779. The rest of Dobbs became Lenoir and Greene counties. Lenoir County’s records are also destroyed. Grantee and grantor indexes survive for Johnston, Dobbs, and Lenoir though the deeds themselves are lost.

"The oldest mill of record was probably built by Johathan Standley [father of David] around 1745-50 on Harris' Branch, later called Mill Branch, one mile east of Snakebite. The dam can still be seen from the road. Around the time of the Revolutionary War this mill was owned by David Standley, who was one of Bertie County's delegates to the Assembly at Hillsboro in 1775."
- Francis Speight on Snakebite Community

Jonathan Standley was granted permission to build a Grist Mill on Harris branch between Cashy and Conoretsrat. (2-621)
and {Jonathan} was a Justice of Bertie in 1776. (3-445)
and David Standley had a son name Jonathan in 1795. (3-356)

Patent Book 1, Pg. 289: November 11, 1719 James Castelaw patented 640 acres in Chowan Precinct adjoining
Philip Walston, Charles Barber, Jonathan Standley, John Williams
Patent Book 3, Pg. 3: April 5, 1720 Philip Walston patented 600 acres in Chowan Precinct on ye N. E. side of Cassia River, joining Charles Barber, ____ Creek, Thomas Jones, Jonathan Standley, and ye river.
Patent Book 3, Pg. 9: April 5, 1720 James Castelaw patented 340 acres in Chowan Precinct, joining John Watson, Ralph Bosman, Robert Hicks, James Farlaw, CHARLES JORDAN and Isaac Williams.
Patent Book 3, Pg. 9: March 9, 1717 Thomas Bray patented 640 acres in Chowan Precinct joining John Watson, Ralph Bosman, Robert Hicks, James Farlaw, CHARLES JORDAN and Isaac Williams.
One major significance of these land patents confirms proximity of Charles JORDAN, father of Dempsey Jordan, whose Taliaferro Co., GA Last Will & Testament proved the lineage of Shadrack Stanley (father of James Stanley of Gwinnett County, GA). Charles was Shadrack's father-in-law -- giving further credence to Shadrack's familial relationship to Jonathan Standley.

In 1758, Dobbs County was formed from the eastern portion of Johnston County. (Old) Dobbs included today's Wayne, Greene, Lenoir and small portions of several other counties. This area of North Carolina provides early records for the families known to be related to Jonathan Standley Sr. through DNA testing.

Standly, William Edward Grantham 214 Johnston County, NC - Quit Rent - 1750 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The term "Quit rent" is one that was used in Colonial America to refer to a personal property tax, which was assessed by the Crown. The local Sheriff collected it, and it was sent to the Governor for distribution and administration. It was paid in cash or tobacco. It was one of the "Taxation Without Representation" issues leading to the Revolution, after which it was abolished. Original on file at the North Carolina Archives, Raleigh, NC The far right column has three columns for the numbers - the ":" symbol is used to separate them.

Johnston County, NC - JOHNSTON/DOBBS/LENOIR COUNTIES GRANTOR INDEX BOOK 22 - 1746-CA-1810 Transcribed from the Grantor Index and checked against the Grantee IndexMartha Mewborn Marble, 1377 Independence Ave., S.E., Washington, D. C. 20003 This is an unique Book as it has entries from the time Johnston was formed in 1746 until sometime in the early 1800's. Dr. Charles Holloman has the below information in his book "Kinston and Lenoir County" p. 354." In 1788, the State government began to take action against various persons who had engaged in land grant frauds. By 1796, the public was well aware of the problem. One result of this situation was an act of the General Assembly requiring persons holding lands under grants and deeds of doubtful registry to register the same in the respective counties or in the office of the Secretary of State (as to grants). Many old deeds and grants were consequently registered in book No. 22 of Dobbs-Lenoir records. Thus, the appearance of an entry in book No. 22 of the old grantee index is impossible to date as many were originally written many years prior to registration while others were of more recent date. * Does not appear in Grantee Index** Does not appear in Grantor Index() Difference in name or spelling as appears in Grantee Index GRANTOR GRANTEE PAGE NUMBER________________________________________________________________ Standley, Sands Spencer Caldwell 87Standley, John Joseph Winfield 355Standley, Joshua Benj.

The initial form contains the entry number, county, name, acres, grant number, date grant issued, warrant number, entry number, date entered, book number, page number, location, and remarks. There were almost no entries for grant number, warrant number, and few entries for entry number. What follows are typically the warrant in which the government instructs the surveyor to do a survey and a brief description of the land, then the actual land plat, followed by the copy of the back of the initial warrant to do a survey on which the surveyor notes when he did it, for whom, the quantity (number of acres), and the names of the two people who helped him as his chain bearers to actually survey the land. On the warrant itself, it states that the Surveyor must make two just and fair plans, with a proper certificate attached to each, which he was to return to the Secretary's office within 12 months from the date of the warrant. If the warrantee does not within 18 months from the date of the warrant, take out a patent for the land, the warrant, and all proceedings thereon, become void and of no force, and the said land was deemed vacant and free to be taken up by any other person.
