Abstract:

On one of the most historic spots in America stands New Hope Methodist Church -- the oldest Methodist church in Perquimans County. The church site is included in the tract of land deeded to George Durant by the Indians, March 1, 1662 -- the oldest recorded deed in America showing transfer of land from Indians to white settlers.
