Mary purchased land in Bute County ( now Franklin and Warren) North Carolina on May 9 1778. Deed book 6, page 429, shows that she paid 75 pounds proclamation money and quitrents to Kirby Sanders for 246 acres on Crooked Creek. Her Son-in-law, Daniel McKinney, husband of Sarah, had purchased 100 acres on Crooked Creek in October 1777 (Deed book 6, page 309) and this may have influenced her to come to North Carolina. Mary's two sons, Isham and Jesse, witnessed the deed. On April 10, 1798 Mary Weathers sold the Crooked Creek property to Vincent Sanders, 246 acres for 246 dollars. She was, according to the deed living in York County, South Carolina at this time. Her Daughter Sarah was also living in York with her Husband Daniel and six children. Many of the Sussex, Virginia group who had moved to Franklin County, North Carolina migrated together to Mecklenburg, North Carolina and York, South Carolina counties. Mary's deed was again witnessed by Isham and Jesse. Deed book 4, page 72, Franklin County, North Carolina shows Jesse Weathers sold 250 acres for 250 silver dollars to Ruben Rogers of Sussex County, Virginia, 10 Sept 1784. Deed book 6, page 234, Franklin County, North Carolina shows Jesse Weathers sold 214 acres for 150 pds. to John Barrow of Southampton County, Virginia in 1790. Jesses' wife, Milley, is mentioned in the deed, indicating that this may have been the "home place".
