Records of the First Heir & Devisee
Commission for the Mecklenburg/Midland District: Set up
to hear claims for deeds not only from original locatees,
but also from the heirs or purchasers of their land, the Commission
compiled extracts of claims and collected proofs of ownership
between 1797 and 1804. Also included are the remarks of the
Council on the various cases. Many of the Loyalists never
received deeds for the land which they were originally assigned;
this publication will bring to light not only the reasons
for this, but also valuable information on where to find the
documents awarding those first grants. This will be a companion
volume to the minutes of the Mecklenburg/ Midland District
Land Board.
