THE CREEL DEEDS

Submitted by Jeanne Creel Posted May 2, 2001 by Myrtle Bridges.



I am submitting five deeds that I have acquired from the Cumberland County Courthouse. Although the deeds are
listed as Bladen county, the lands were actually in Cumberland County on the Upper Little River and the Ten Mile
Swamp. Other court records show Lazarus Creel was a constable and that he had a son, Thomas and Lazarus. I don't know
if this Thomas is the son or another family member. They left Cumberland and spent the duration of the Revolution
with the Dobbs County Creels. After the war Thomas and Lazarus moved to Robeson County, N.C.
