(Book B, Page 517: HENRY WALKER of Anson Co., to JAMES ADAMS for ten pistoles ...land on S side Pee Dee, below the mouth of Rockey River, 135 A... HENRY WALKER (SEAL), Wit EDMOND LILLY, JEREMIAH DUMAS, JOSEPH CULPEPPER.).2 
Research note1 Jun 2006 From Wallace Adams-Riley:

My father ...after having come across a published abstract, hired a couple of different folks to look through the records of Anson Co., N.C., and there found two deeds that were clearly our family: the first deed (the abstract for which he had come across) is from the 1750's wherein Henry Walker deeds land on the Rocky River to James Adams; and, in the second deed, from the 1760's, the same land is deeded by Agnes (or perhaps "Agra" -- hard to read)) Culpepper and a William Adams to a second party. Matching up the information in these deeds with the naming pattern of Joel's children( his first son being named James, and his third son being named Henry Walker), and with the family story, we feel confident that these are "our people," as they say. My "discovery" of the naming pattern in the Culpepper family (Joel, Joel Adams) seems to fit nicely with this line of thought, i.e., that Joel's step-brothers or half-brothers Malachi and Joseph III both named sons for him.3
