North Carolina land grants in South Carolina
(Book)

Includes index.

"The border between North and South Carolina was a point of controversy for many years. Finally, in 1764, the border east of the Catawba River was surveyed. However, it was not until 1772 that it was surveyed west of that river. Before these surveys, over 1,000 land grants were issued by North Carolina in Territory which is now South Carolina. These grants are in the present counties of Marlboro, Chesterfield, Lancaster, York, Chester, Union, Cherokee, Spartanburg, Greenville, Laurens and Newberry ... These counties did not come into existence until many years after the border was surveyed. In the period just after the survey, these grants were considered in Craven or Berkeley Counties, and St. Mark's or St. David's Parish, South Carolina. The North Carolina counties from which these land grants were issued were Bladen, Anson, Meckleburg, and Tryon ... Records of these grants after the border survey can be found int he South Carolina Land Memorials, the Charleston Deeds until 1785, and the deeds of the various counties involved."--Introduction.
