Abstract:
North Carolina's oldest family business, and the nation's tenth, is a 261-year-old farm located in Martin County. In 1742, King George II granted the land to John Whitley's grandfather of eight-generations past. Whitley is still in possession of the grant and wax seal, found in the homeplace attic in the 1950s.
