    Notes:

    Kinchen2, born say 1784, head of a Chatham County household of 6 "other free" in 1810 [NC:195]. On 15 August 1821 he purchased 154 acres in Chatham County on the south side of Cape Fear River near the Ferry Road and Drake's land for $430 and sold this land seven years later on 25 December 1828 for $200. On 3 April 1829 he sold the 150 acres on Bush Creek which he received as one of the heirs of (his father?) Ishmael Roberts [DB X:320; AB:134, 186]. He was head of a Lost Creek Township, Vigo County, Indiana, household in 1850. He was a sixty-five-year-old, born in Virginia, with $3,000 estate, living with Nancy, fifty-eight years old, born in North Carolina [Household no. 202].

    ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
    The buying power of a $3,000 in 1850, would be equal to over $500,000 in value in 2012. The property value of 200+ acres in 2012, would be close to $1, 000,000. Kinchen was affluent in North Carolina, before coming to Lost Creek, and even more so after settling here. The Roberts family resided on Indian Reservation property in Robeson County, North Carolina, and are counted as Indian, on the Lumbee Tribal rolls. Being affluent, the Roberts family were also slave OWNERS, while residing in North Carolina.
