This book contains abstracts of 964 various warrants, surveys and grants issued by North Carolina for land in Washington County, Tennessee. There are also a few letters which were also found among the grant files and petitions to the Assembly. It was customary for the surveyor to describe the location of the property on some stream or head waters of some stream, or on some mountain giving great detail as to its boundaries and names of neighbors. Other data to be gleaned from these abstracts: name of grant recipient, name of person selling grant, acreage, warrant numbers and dates of issue along with other useful information.
