Petitions for Land Grant Suspensions in North Carolina, 1776-1836

Was your relative involved in a Revolutionary Era Land Grant Dispute? This book contains abstracts of caveats of 1,606 Land Grants. These caveats are petitions to North Carolina’s governors asking him NOT to sign a grant until a trail is held to settle a land disagreement. The genealogists will discover large amounts of data including: the names of the plaintiff and defendant, grant #, the acreage in dispute, county in which land is located, date of petition, attorneys’ names, neighbors’ names, final judgement and other useful bits of information.
