Land Grants on Elk River in Tennessee
North Carolina & Tennessee Land Grants 1783 - 1831
Land Grant Genealogy 5
Bedford, Coffee, Franklin, Giles, Grundy, Lincoln, Marshall & Moore Counties in Southern Middle Tennessee
by Jack Masters
New book by Jack Masters features North Carolina and Tennessee Land Grants on the Elk River in Southern middle Tennessee.
1438 transcribed Land Grants cover the period 1783 - 1831. All grants are placed on modern topographical
maps for ease in location. Includes all name and place index with 123 map pages.
The bulk of research for this work was taken from RG 50 dealing with 2nd Surveyors District. This was about a 5 month project in which all Elk River tracts were
copied for later piecing together to form this book. For the less than 20 grants which
were in the 3rd Surveyors District, in Grundy County on the upper Elk River, Tennessee Land Grants
were utilized without the necessity of the several month project of getting back to RG 50.
Many additional topics are included as can be seen in the book Table of Contents
listed below.
Prior purchasers of our Atlases will be able to enjoy the previous published maps in Volume 1, 2 &
