     Captain John
1702 -1750 , North Carolina

1702 Captain John Nelson Jr. sailed into Bath. On board he had 12 colonists including his father Judge John Nelson Sr., His wife Ann and 2 sisters: Elizabeth and Mary. They were there to claim 50 acres of land each offered by The Lords Proprietors. On October 28, 1702 he filed the rights to land for 600 acres.
John is noted as Captain John Nelson during the Tuscarora Indian War 1711-1718.
Captain John and his wife acquired large tracts of land on the north and south sides of the Neuse River and planted several orchards. The main plantation was on the north side of the Neuse River. The smaller plantation was near present day Garbacon Creek. He spent most of his time at his Hunting Quarters Plantation, now part of Sea Level.
Captain John's will dated 1750 in North Carolina. His estate was administered by his son James Nelson.² Captain John Nelson
28 October 1702

"The Lords Propritors" had advertised in England offering fifty acres of land to the provider of passage for each colonist brought to North Carolina. Thus on October 28, 1702, Captin John Nelson owner and operator of his own ship filed what was called an "Entry to Land" which gave him title to six hundred acres of land in what is now Sea Level, Carteret, North Carolina. In order to keep his land he was required to oppupy and use the land or it would be forefeited, thus"Hunting Quarters Plantions" was born. Captin John and his wife Ann Bell, daughter of Joseph Bell and Margaret---accquired large tracts of land on the north and south side of the Neuse River where they raised their childern. They planted a number of orchards on the plantations and well as the usual crops. They remained active with the sea as well. the main plantation was on the north side of the Neuse River and a smaller plantation was on the south side near the present day site of Garbacon Creek. He owned property in Craven, Careret (Hunting Quarters, Sea Level, Merrimon, Adams Creek and on Core Banks) and Hyde Counties.

When their son Thomas died in 1750 leaving his wife and two sons, Thomas Jr. and John, Captain John transferred 540 acres to the boys appointing his son James as overseer and instrucing him that the widow Elizabeth was to receive one thrid of the profits of the orchards and the grounds for her lifetime. When young Thomas Jr. became of age in 1759, he gave his younger brother John 450 acres of this area as well as 120 acres in Hunting Quarters for "his better mantenance and livelyhood". It appears that John married and died in his forties. Thomas Jr. died after 1800 and had apparently built a very good shipping business with his ship the "Hunter" as well as having a very properous plantation. After Ann died Captain John married Mary Lewis Taylor. He provided for Mary by giving her a slave and rights to one half of his Hunting Quarters property for her life time.
