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 [[NC State Archives|State Archives of North Carolina].
