Martin Dry, my 4th Great Grandfather, received a 118 Acres Land Grant from the State of North Carolina on 10 December 1800 in Cabarrus County on the waters of Bear Creek. 

Martin was married to Catherine Keppel and they had nine children; four of which were born prior to obtaining this land grant.
