Why did the Quaker families move from Cane Creek MM to Wrightsboro?

Ralph Hayes ralphhayes72@gmail.com sent a information about  the reason for the move from Cane Creek To Wrightsboro  of the Quaker families.  The below is taken from Raph's post to the Quaker .io group.  Ralph has kindly agreed to let me put his contact information in case you want to get in touch with him.  And if you want to add ideas of your own to this post, e-mail them to me at mosesm@earthlink.net 

If I may throw in some info on Joseph Maddock, my line.  This info is from numerous sources and I can list them if anyone is interested.

Regulator movement in North Carolina apparently came into being after the Stamp Act was enacted. An advertisement was published for representatives of each neighbor to appoint a representative to meet in August 1766 "at Maddocks Mill if no objection at which meeting let it be judiciously enquired whether the free men of this Country labor under any abuses of power...in particular to examine ...the Public Taxes..." The neighborhood of Deep River met on 20 Aug 1766 and appointed Wm. Cox and Wm. Masset  to attend a general meeting on the first Monday before November court at Maddocks Mill on Eno.  On 22 Mar  the inhabitants of the west side of Haw River sent a representative to a meeting at Maddock Mills. On a later date 12 men met at Maddock's Mill on Eno River to meet with state officials. The official did not show and the group motioned to disperse "but at the instance of Mr Maddocks we waited until he could dispatch a lad to Hillsborough to inform himself of the reasons of the Officers non appearance...". [It appears to me that Joseph Maddock was sympathetic to their cause and hoped to mediate the differences.] Other sources have the date as 10 Oct 1766.

I have lifted the below information from an on-line source to add to my main blog.  I will repeat it below with the link to the source at the end.  There are numbers interspersed which seem to be footnotes.  They are not mine.  I have checked and they must be the author's footnotes:

For nearly 13 years Maddock's Mill was the nearest grist mill to the county seat of Hillsboro. In October, 1766, however, Maddock's name and his mill became publicly linked with the Regulators,⁵ and from that time forward he feared that the mill and his entire North Carolina property would be confiscated by Governor William Tryon.⁶ The alarmed Maddock and other Eno Quakers swiftly entered for new lands in eastern Georgia;⁷ and in November, 1767, according to the old Registration of Deeds Book in Raleigh, Maddock conveyed his 20-acre mill seat to Governor Tryon's friend, Capt. Thomas Hart,⁸ and in July, 1768, he conveyed a 434-acre tract, a sizable portion of his plantation, to Governor Tryon himself.⁹ Whether or not these two conveyances- were actual sales or thinly disguised confiscations, one cannot say. In any event, by deeds and State land grant, Maddock's lands came into Thomas Hart's hands and Hartford Plantation came into existence.¹⁰ 

^{Captain Hart (1730-1808) was a Virginian from Hanover County, an adventurer," one of "the men with silver buckles on their shoes" who invariably married heiresses and gradually pushed the less sophisticated pioneer Quakers out of their little stores and inns and acquired their mills and farmsteads – a pattern of polite, ruthless aggression in the Eno River Valley entirely fascinating and chilling to trace today from our vantage point in time.12}
