    The following information came from the Nov. 2011 issue of "Bulletin of The Genealogical Society of Old Tryon County".  August 9, 1777 Thomas Dickson buys 240 acres on the West Branch of Kings Creek from William Faires.  (Tryon/Lincoln Deed Book 16, p. 150)  The " West Branch of Kings Creek" may be currently called Dixon Branch in Cleveland County, North Carolina.

    From Lincoln County Deed Book Pg 245-246: "Thomas Dickson of Tryon Co. N. C. to William Henry Sr., 8 Aug. 1777, 88 Acres on W. side of Catawba River and S.Fork Crowders Creek, joining Ferguson's line and Rankin's line. Witness: John Chittin, Malcolm Henry, William Henry"  David McCarter would later own the land that David Rankin owned in this area of the South Fork of Crowders Creek.

    Possibly in war of 1812...se attached doc/source.
