Abstract:

Sold on 7 August 1753, Lord Granville of the Carolina Colony sold 98,985 acres of land to the Moravians for their new settlement. The Moravians put down 500 pounds sterling towards the land and paid an annual rent through 1788 of 150 pounds. The quit-rents were purchased in 1788 for 1,000 pounds, transferring ownership of the Wachovia tract to the Moravians.
