There were 2412 grants issued in Chatham County from 1719 to 1928.
David McCorkle maintains a private, free site that indexes and images land grants made in NC. Here is what is on this web site:
- Searchable data for 216,000 land grants including names, dates and locations for years 1663 through 1960, including 10,000 grants in what is now Tennessee.
- 51,000 Images of all 200+ existing Land Patent Books with complete metes and bounds for each patent (Unique to this website!).
- 200,000 Images of loose documents (surveys, warrants, receipts) for a number of NC counties, with more on the way.
- 41,000 Images of all Granville District Grants including signed deeds, warrants, and surveys (Unique to this website!).
Mr. McCorkle credits the land grant info to the State Archives of North Carolina.
