Am researching for William and Lidda (Grindstead) Siry. Have them in Washington county in the late 1800's. Their son, Levi, is my grandfather. They changed the spelling of their last name to Syria before moving to the state of Washington in the early 1900's.

ROBERSON, ROBERTSON, ROBINSON -
I am trying to find a county book that mentions a John Roberson/ Robinson as surveyor for that town/county. I saw the book several years ago, and I remember the line "John Roberson/ Robinson/ Robertson was surveyor for this". I did not copy this, and have kicked myself ever since.
I know this is a "blind search" but hope that someone can help me. John Roberson left Franklin Co in about 1798 and went into NC where he died. I have been told he was a surveyor, and feel he may have worked with George Washington.
Any clue? He did own land on Pigg River.
