the Maryland property and removed to Pamptecough Precinct North Carolina where he
had obtained a patent for 5000 acres. The land was not suitable for crops and was
mostly swamp so William began growing hogs. He turned them loose, and they roamed
free. Every few months he had a pig roundup, slaughtered those captured, salted the
meat and shipped it to England. In 1713 the part of Pamptecough Precinct that lay east
of the Pamlico Sound became Beaufort County. William's land was located south of the
modern small community of Bath, and bordered the inlet that turns east off Pamlico
Sound.
