• Clearly north of Tarr/Pamlico, west of Bath town: 20 Feb 1739, 16 Mar 1742, 25 Mar 1749.
• Probably north of Tarr/Pamlico, west of Bath:   15 Nov 1752 (600 Ac.),
• Clearly south of Tarr/Pamlico: 3 Mar 1738, 17 Mar 1740/1 (400 Ac), 25 Feb 1743.
• Probably east of Bath town: 3 Nov 1735.
• Probably south of Tarr/Pamlico: 17 Mar 1740/1 (300 Ac.), 15 Nov 1752 (550 Ac.), 15 Nov 1752 (500 Ac.).
•  Of the uncertain patents, the 1735 patent mentions Edmund Tyson, and the only Tyson patents before 1738 are east of Matchapungo River.   And no Tyson patent was north of Tarr and west or near Tranter's Creek.  Winifred Wilson, Seth's daughter, sold the 1735 patent in 1771 to Richard Evans.   Wyriott Ormond's 1742 patent probably adjoind this one.
• The 300 Ac. 1740/1 patent, mentions Hatt's Neck, Runney Marsh, and Beach Ridge, none of which I can identify.   But Hatt's Neck might be a mistake for Hall's Neck.  This land may have belonged later to James Everett and then Peter Nelson.
• The 500 and 550 Ac. 1742 patents both Join Cornelius Tyson, which puts them south of the Tarr almost surely.   But the 600 Ac. 1742 patent may well be north of the Tarr.

Our only source for the death of James [Singleton] is through the Administrators Bond entered by George Moy on March 13, 1739. Administrators appointed to settle the estate of James were: George Moy, who was a sheriff of Bath County, Seth Pilkington, a merchant and Simon Alderson, the  Public Treasurer of Bath County. It was the custom during the early years for the court to appoint three men, usually neighbors, to administer a man’s estate.    Biography of James Singleton
