SE Carteret County between The Straits and Back Sound, approx. 5 mi. long and 1 mi. wide. Granted to Thomas Sparrow, March 21, 1714; later sold to Ebenezer Harker, September 15, 1730. Known as Craney Island until 1783, when three brothers who owned the island—Zachary, James, and Ebenezer Harker—divided it among themselves. In 1957 the entire island was inc. as the town of Harkers Island. Appears as Davers Island on the Smith map, 1624, and as Crane Island on the Moseley map, 1733. On the latter map, the name Harker appears to denote the owner. |
