!DEED:22 Aug 1787 Guilford Co., NC Deed Book 4, pp. 337-338)
James Brown to John Stewart, Blacksmith, 282a on a branch of Reedy Fork of Haw River, both sides of the county line between Rowan and Orange, now Guilford.
Note that Reedy Fork of Haw River rises in Kernersville, which is west of Greensboro and flows north easterly above the city, then turns mostly easterly and flows the entire width of Guilford before joining the Haw River just inside of Alamance County.
We can narrow down where this land was based on the description as being on both sides of the old county lines between Rowan and Orange. That means the land was on the eastern side of Guilford somewhere in the vicinity of the current Alamance County line.
