"A History of the Street Family of Moore County, NC": "The present "Street Place was once land owned by the Dickerson family and was called the Dickerson Place. Robert Dickerson came to the area in the 1750s, probably from Virginia. [I disagree with that. SAL] He bought 225 acres, on McLendons Creek, from Thomas Collins, on May 10, 1758. Robert made his will on 10 Dec 1750 [should be 1759. SAL].........[goes on to describe the will]..........Willis Dickerson received a land grant, in 1789, for 200 acres that adjacent to the 1798 grant to Richard Street I, for 300 acres. This land included the present Reives Chapel property and extended to about where Al Simmons now lives. Other Dickerson brothers received land grants in the area. There are no records to prove exactly which of the Street land belonged to the Dickersons. It is, however, a very good bet that all the land from Lick Creek up the river to the upper bounds of the present Street land was once the property of the Dickersons. This includes the site of the present Street Place. There are several homesites near the Street Place that are said to have been the sites of Dickerson homes. The Dickerson Cemetery is only a few hundred yards from the Street house."
