William and Mary Colclough sold their land in Fauquier Co, VA in 1762 and bought land in Granville Co, NC in 1763. Henry and Margaret (Colclough) Foote sold their land in 1762 in Fauquier Co, VA andbought land in Granville Co, NC in 1763. Interestingly, the land in Granville Co, NC was registered on Nov 7 1763 for both of these families. With these facts in common it would seem they must have traveled together to their new homes.
