(Rowan Co. NC Deed Book 5, p. 74.) Bartholomew Grogan Then in 1764, Bartholomew Grogan and his wife Lurina sold 186 acres of this land to John Simons. (Book 5, p. 538) In the Rowan County Minute Book 3, p. 158, Bartholomew Grogan is appointed the overseer of the road from Grassey Spring(sic) to Orange Line (County line) in 1769. There are no other records of any other Grogans in Rowan County at this time. Thomas Hill was born in 1759 near the Dan River, close to the Virginia border, in what is now Rockingham County, near the presently existing town of Eden. We know by pension statements, and his son Abner Hill’s “Obituary,” that his parents were William and Hannah Hill. Certainly William Hill seems to have legally considered Thomas his own, and Thomas never indicated otherwise.
However, DNA says otherwise. The Hill descendants of Thomas Hill are genetically descended from a male with the last name of Grogan. The Hill descendants of Thomas’ brother are not connected by DNA to Thomas’ descendants. So now the investigation into our Hill roots before Thomas, shifts gears to the Grogan family. DNA will give us no more information; from here we must rely on the familiar paper trail of deeds, censuses, tax lists, etc. What do we know about the Grogans? According to Grogan descendants, two brothers came to America from Kings County (today called Offaly County), Ireland probably in the 1750s. The brothers are Thomas David and Bartholomew Grogan. Thomas David is believed to have been born around 1727 and Bartholomew around 1730. Some believe they landed in Pennsylvania and made their way south. John Lemons With his original 186 acre purchase on Buffalo Island Creek (Feb. 27, 1764 from Bartholomew Grogan), his plantation comprised about 1,400 acres.After the war, John was an active citizen and participated in various local civic affairs. Court minutes for the Guilford County Pleas and Quarter Sessions show that he was appointed tax assessor in 1781 for the District of Dan River. This area was at that time still a part of Guilford. Many of the duties of the old court were later delegated to a newly created group called the Board of County Commissioners. In 1782, John was designated overseer of the public road from Grassy Springs to Smith River. These Springs rise in a marsh near the present-day intersection of Rural Road 2148 and NC 135, the latter of which runs through his old plantation. In former times, instead of paying a direct tax in the form of money, the people living near a public road maintained it themselves under direction of a local gentleman appointed as overseer. After the northern end of Guilford was authorized to be formed into the County of Rockingham, John Lemons, Sr.
1760 The widow, Margaret Ludman Teter and the children moved to Dutchman's Creek, near Salisbury George Teter, Sr., b. 1740, as referenced above, was the son of George Teter, d. 1744, probably Orange Co., VA, [Kellogg also says George, Sr., was b. 1740, Rowan Co., NC, not impossible that the father returned to VA on business, but does not seem to be what is implied. It is most likely that George the younger was b. 1740, in VA, not NC.] and the widow, Margaret (Ludman) Teter and the children moved to Dutchman's Creek, near Salisbury, NC. Owing to Indian troubles they removed to the North Fork soon after 1760. It is not known where Margaret died. Their known children were: George, Jr.; Paul, d. 1784, m. Rebecca Henkle; [Rebecca Teeter, head of a family of 7 in 1784, Rockingham, and was still there in 1787. In 1797, Rebecca disposes of all of her land in Randolph and Rockingham Counties, and probably moved west with the rest of her known children to St. Clair Co., IL, with the Badgely party, except for George, who had already settled in Randolph Co.] Philip, m. Susannah Henkle; and Barbara, m. Jacob Henkle. Joseph Kellogg also names Rosina, m. Martin Bidert (Peterson). She died in 1804. And a daughter, who married John Gartmann, and lived in Carolina. There may have been others.

My interest is the Mary and Louisa WALTON who married Absolam & Jeremiah JORDAN, so I wasn't looking at Johnsons when doing the research back in the early 1990s. I think this Absolam is the brother of "my" Jonas Jordan d. 1785 Bedford Co. (in Amelia 1740-1760s) and I tentatively link Jeremiah who m. Louisa Walton to them just because he's in the vacinity and married Mary's sister. Absalom and Mary Jordan sold land in Albemarle Co. VA c1760, are next found in Rowan Co. NC, and they (or their son Absalom) end up in GA -- Elbert Co. if memory serves me, but that's just across the river from Oglethorpe. I wasn't using a genealogy program at the time I did the GA research and haven't entered Absalom's line this far down. There are some interesting connectins here IF the same family.
