I compiled some photos together to show you of a dig that was done on my hubby's property in Oct 1998 on the Outer Banks of NC.
My husband and his brother were both given, upon the death of their father, 2 parcels of land. This land has been in his family for nearly 150 years. We have even seen the original document where the land was owned by the Indians and given to a man named FARROW.
My brother in law sold his land nearly 30 years ago (dummy). His was across the street from my hubby's. The two lots on the south side of hubby's property once belonged to his great aunt. Upon her death, she left them to a niece and nephew, who in turned sold them. We met the couple who purchased both lots. They are from CT and are in the process of bldg a home on the two lots. Hubbys property has yet to be built on and has been in it's natural state for nearly 50 years, if not longer.
Back in 1998, a man named Fred Willard, contacted my hubby about having digs done on his property, to be conducted under Dr. David Phelps. Hubby agreed and the pics below are the outcome. More digs were scheduled, but never followed through, for one reason or another, funding mostly.
I wish we could have said we found these, but we can't....but it's still totally awesome to have these found on hubby's property and recorded!!!
They believe that this property was the center of the Croatain Indians, or a part of the village.
There was listed, on ship manifest...a Master Kendall and an Captain Kendall. Can't remember which name said the first name was Abraham....anyways, Dr. Phelps used his contacts in England and they traced this particular ring back to Abraham Kendall...they believe both Master and Captain Kendall's are one in the same...as they were each listed on two separate ship manifest at different times. England has great records on seals and such!!!
But wanted to share with ya'll....if I can find where hubby put the other photos of other items they found, I will scan and post.
Thanks for looking!!!!!!!
