NC Land Grant~Catherine Dry, August 1787

On 7 August 1787, Catherine Dry was granted 70 acres of Land on Cold Water Creek. At that time there are two sets of Dry’s within the County; Jacob Dry on Cold Water Creek and Charles Dry on Dutch Buffalow Creek.

Who is Catherine Dry? If you know which set of Dry’s that Catherine Dry is related too I would love to hear from you.
