A small creek near the Cavender home became a gathering place for the Indian squaws because of the water and the small trees furnished the items for weaving baskets. These baskets were sold or traded to white settlers for items they wanted. On September 13, 1796, Ezekiel Cavender and wife Ann Cavender conveyed to Edmond Dedman ("Edmond Deadman" & "Edward Dedman"?) 94 acres of land in Rowan County, North Carolina on Dutchmans Creek on its south bank next to Elijah Owens and John Brendle for 100 pounds.

The Indenture was witnessed by William Deadman ("William Dedman") and John Stinchcomb. 371 The will of Edward Deadmon ("Edward Dedmon"?, "Edward Dedman", "Edmond Deadman" & "Edmond Dedman"?) executed on July 16, 1808 and probated in 1813 named his heirs as: Elizabeth Dedman ("Elizabeth Dedmon"), his wife; Elijah Dedmond ("Elijah Dedman" & "Elijah Dedmon"); William Dedmond ("William Dedmon" & "William Dedman"); Elinor Dedmon ("Elinor Dedman") who married a Power ("Elinor Power") who was the daughter of William Power and Elizabeth Stagsdill; Elizabeth Dedmond ("Elizabeth Dedmon" & "Elizabeth Dedman") who married a Hainline ("Elizabeth Hainline"); Temperance Dedmond ("Temperance Dedmon" & "Temperance Dedman") who married a Cross ("Temperance Cross"); Confort Dedmon ("Comfort Dedmon", "Comfort Dedman" & "Comfort Deadmon") who married a Spriggs ("Confort Spriggs" & "Confort Spriggs"); and, Rebacca Dedmon who married a Cavender ("Rebecca Cavender" & "Rebecca Cavender"?).371 In 1800, Clemeth Cavender ("Clemith Cavender") was living in the Pendleton District of South Carolina next to the families of his father, Ezekiel Cavender and his brother, James Cavender. Clemeth Cavender ("Clemith Cavender"?) settled in Hall County, Georgia, east of Murrayville when that county was created in 1818. Samuel Dedman came to Albermarle County, Virginia from Louisiana in 1768, purchased 200 acres from William T. Lewis ("William Lewis"), and died in 1800.
