I have found lots of plats that the directions are stated 180degrees out. This will prevent it closing. Normally they start at one point and then progress either CW or CCW around the property. Sometimes they write a direction or two going the wrong way. It may never close all the way just due to accuracies of the time but it should contain a reasonably accurate amount of land. If it says it encloses 50 acres more or less, it could be 45 acres or 55 acres but it will not be 70 acres. Use the size of the property as one of your guides. Also, adjoining properties will have the same bearings but may or may not have common corners. The plats usually say running with so & so's line so you know which property should fit. Sometimes you can look at how the plat is drawn to tell which bearings should be reversed. I have yet to see one that makes and 'X' <vbg> Bob Wilson Wimberley, TX

I am assuming it was just recorded wrong. >How do other's handle these kinds of deed plats? Hi Teresa - The plat should close properly if it is anywhere close (I forget the actual distance). When I have one of these, I usually try to plot it roughly with pencil and paper. Then I can usually see where either I am wrong or, more likely, the coordinates were recorded incorrectly. Then I can adjust the coordinates as needed. If the closure distance is great, I will often add a closing entry where I can annotate it showing that it is my addition. In either case, I do annotate any of my changes. Sometimes reviewing the neighboring plots or later deeds for the same property can show the corrections needed.

I have checked and double checked the coordinates and directions and the plat does not close properly. I am assuming it was just recorded wrong. How do other's handle these kinds of deed plats?

Is there a way to get more of the owner's names to print? Only a small portion of the names show, although the deed plat itself is large enough for all the owners.

Land Grants, per Dr. Robert McNeely: If you are using DeedMapper, this can be cut-and-pasted in. Compare with the above. The present-day location of Abraham Denton's land is about a mile and-a-half south of the Catawba River dam at the State Park. The exact spot would be off Highway 70, turning right on Rutherford Drive. Near the end of the road, on the right, is the plat. I am always looking for DeedMapper plots in present Burke, Catawba, Lincoln, Gaston, Cleveland and Rutherford prior to 1860. This helps us all discover ancestral lands. --Derick S.

My part of the deeds of Henry county is only working with the original grants. I have done a database of the original Book A in Henry County and plotted some of the ones in my family. I wish I could be of more help to you in this but in looking in my database of Book A entry records I find only a few in the names you listed. Thomas Bailey Deed Number 2371 on page 234 of Book A for 78 acres on 8-22-1833. William Bailey Deed Number 1762 on page 176 of Book A for unknown acres on 9-7-1824. William Bailey Deed Number 1763 on page 176 of Book A for 11 acres on 9-7-1824 These are all I can find and I know that it probably won't help much but that is all I have.

John, I've had DeedMapper for years but since 3.0 came out I've not had a chance to play with it. However, what I was interested in was your Henry Co, TN deeds. I have Bucy's, Pettypool's, Guinn's, Bailey's, & more in that area. Are you willing to share or I'd be happy to pay you for a copy of your work. This is my mother's family and I've been working mostly on my Dad's so haven't taken the time to do the deed work.
