Deed Books D-E-F
(D/1) On the first three pages of Deed Book "D" is certified copy of a criminal case in North
Carolina in which Nathan ATKINSON who afterwards settled and lived and died i Camden Couny, was
indicted for murder, tried and convicted. Just why such a record should be recorded in Georgia
years after the trial took place, we do not know unless it was to embarrass and discredit Mr.
ATKINSON. The certified Copy is dated Aug. 27, 1798,by Clerk Superior Court of Craven Co.,
N.C., and shows that the Indictment for murder was returned by the Grand Jury Nov. 22, 1786,
charging the defendant Nathan ATKINSON with the murder of Cary JERNIGAN late of Johnson Co.,
N.C. on Aug. 20, 1786 in Craven Co., N.C. Two days after the indictment the defendant was
brought to trial. The names of the jurors were no shown. Verdict of quilty was returned same
day (Nov. 24, 1786) and the defendant was sentenced to be hanged "by the neck until dead" on
Friday, Dec. 8, 1786 by the Sherill of Craven County. It does not appear how the defendant
escaped his death-sentence. JERNIGAN, the deceased was a Tory and ATKINSON was Rev. Soldier.
