Shortly after 1771, Robert and William John Mabe moved to North
Carolina. Charles may have gone with them. Except for the will, there is no
other mention of William, or Phillip. Robert and William John Mabe bought
land in the current Stokes County.

The majority of the immigrants entered America through Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania and made their way west through the Cumberland Valley and
into Maryland and Virginia. Eventually, they began to move south to the
Carolinas in search of rich farmland. Their common route south became one
of the most impressive highways of colonial times, The Great Wagon Road,
which covered a distance of 435 miles from the Yadkin River through
Virginia to Philadelphia.
