Note from Kay Dawson: From what I've been able to ascertain, Bridger's Creek was on a swamp which was the dividing border between Bertie Prect. and Tyrell co NC during the early 1700s. Cullen Pollock, one of Thomas Pollock's sons owned land on both Bridger's Creek in Bertie Prect AND in Tyrell co NC with one of his documents having some of his land partly in Bertie and partly in Tyrrell. Nathaniel Chevin lived on Salmon's Creek Tyrrell co NC.
Note: A contemporary, Francis Parrott was also in Bertie county at the same time, albeit 80 miles east, on Salmon creek. Both Francis Parrott and John Perritt are connected by George Pollock, who owned land next to both of them. George Pollock is a son of the Thomas Pollock who purchased land from John Perritt.
