a Mariner and probably out of the country when called to be in Court. A deed in Onslow

Island for 200 pounds one half of 400 acres in Bath County on the WS of John Williams,
land surveyed for William Stone but for nonpayment of purchase money went to Charles

#45 , John Rosser on a jury 14 Dec 1722
 
Estate of George Henderson probably of Bertie 1737/38
 
Among numerous people who owed his estate money was John Rows/Rouze of
Contentny in Craven Precinct. John became indebted to Henderson on 21 Feb
173 blank for the sum of 72 pds. by 30 Mar 174 faded, Rouse had discharged
his obligation by a mortgage.
 
Guess my question is why was Rouse indebted to someone in Bertie Co which
was a long way away. Had he made a stop by there on the way to Dobbs Co?
Henderson appears to have had no children and left his estate to Hugh Scott
