but his son John IV appears to have gone to Craven Co. with his wife , M argaret Keeling. John and Margaret were in Craven County with the ot he r Carraways, but moved inland to areas which eventually became Dobbs a n d Wayne Counties. (Some of the Keelings came with them to North Caroli n a.) They had settled first and spent a few years on Powell's Creek, wh i ch became Smith Creek on the north shore of the Neuse. Their daughter E l izabeth married Aaron Smith (the Smiths eventually went to South Carol i na). In 1742 they sold Hickory Point, a tract of 800 acres to John Wi l son on the north side of Powells Cr. Richard Lovett witnessed a receip t f or #700, and the deed was witnessed by West, Carney and Thomas Nelso n. 1 742 John and Mary Carraway sell to John Wilson 800a n side of Neuse , n s ide of Powells cr where Richard Smith lived patented 1724 by Richa rd S mith wits John Carney and Wm Nelson (I wonder if this is John and M arg aret Keeling Carraway?)
