North Carolina Land Grants in Greene County, Tennessee

"In 1783 the State of North Carolina decided Washington District which extended as the present

State of Tennessee to the Mississippi River. A line was surveyed beginning at William Williams'

place on Horse Creek to the Mouth of Big Limestone, to Chimney Top Mountain to the mouth of

Cloud's Creek on Holston River. All land south and west of this line was Greene County, Tennessee.

There was the land and the water, few trails, and settlers were coming fast. Land was being taken

fast for homes and farms, and large tracts for speculation. Surveying was inadequate, property lines

Overlapped, but by 1800, after much dispute and re-surveying, correct lines were drawn."

"This book contains approximately 2,000 land grants recorded in Greene County, Tennessee.

Some of these grants were made by the U.S. Government to pay off debts to officers and soldiers

who served in the Revolutionary War; some . . . was land owned and sold by Lord Granville; while

other grants were issued by the states of North Carolina and Tennessee to encourage settlement in

the new state of Tennessee. All grants had to be registered by the claimant in order for his grant to

be legal." North Carolina Land Grants Recorded in Greene County, Tennessee, by Goldene Fillers

Burgner, 1981, Southern Historical Press, Easley, SC, quoted from the Preface and Introduction
