On the bottom of http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncburke/landgrnt.htm, a map shows the Land Grants plotted by Dr. Robert McNeely with DeedMapper. They follow the Catawba River, going as far west as the present town of Catawba. I'm sure we could probably fill in the map with help. --Derick At 11:35 AM 3/9/03 -0500, Wendell Krikham wrote: >Hi Fellow Mappers > >I have been plotting Land Grants in Old Rowan and Iredell Counties.

"I just came across this term marking a line point on 2 adjoining plats..."small bastard box"" Polygala chambuxus is native to European mountain areas. In the UK it is sometimes found as a garden plant, called "ground box" - understandably, since it only grows about 6" high. More likely as a boundary marker is the false box or false boxwood, Cynoxylon floridum, known these days as flowering dogwood - easily recognised, and native to your area. The moral is never trust the OED!

Message text written by INTERNET:DEED-MAPPER-USERS-L@rootsweb.com >I just came across this term marking a line point on 2 adjoining plats..."small bastard box". About the most likely, I guess, would be what one finds in the Oxford English Dictionary, after looking under box (the tree/bush): A genus (Buxus) of small evergreen trees or shrubs of the N.O. Euphorbiaceæ; specially B. sempervirens, the Common or Evergreen Box-tree, a native of Europe and Asia; a shrub with deep-green leaves of a thick leathery texture. It is much used in ornamental gardening, esp. in a dwarfed variety (dwarf or ground box) for the edgings of flower-beds. and a little further down, evidently not a relative, but what must be a look-alike: c. Applied with distinguishing epithet to several other plants, as bastard box, Polygala chamæbuxus; One imagines this species will be found in the Carolinas. If not, I have no clue. John Lyon

I just came across this term marking a line point on 2 adjoining plats..."small bastard box". Does anyone on the list have any idea what it means? I am working with SC colonial plats. Thanks for any help. Margaret

I will be out of the office starting 03/09/2003 and will not return until 03/16/2003. I will probably not have access to E-mail during this period.

Hello everyone, I've been lurking on this list for a short while, and I'm finding most of the material interesting. However, a comment from a newcomer might be in order. Please, when talking about a location (such as the one I use in the subject above), indicate a state. It appears that this and other recent postings refer to Virginia, but I'm just guessing. I live in Pennsylvania, and most of my own use of Deed-Mapper has been for PA land. I have done deed research in Virginia, but not on the rivers you mention in your messages, so I am somewhat lost. Thanks for listening to me, Ellen

Thank you Ellen for the reminder. I should have referenced the subject above in my message.

In addition to the state, it would be helpful to also mention a county or counties the river ran through.

Hi Fellow Mappers I have been plotting Land Grants in Old Rowan and Iredell Counties. An Attorney, David Caldwell had at least two large tracts and some smaller tracts in these counties. One was about 7,800 acres and the other was nearly 4,500 acres.

I am primarily interested in the early Birch Creek area and have entered a number of deeds in the Western part of Halifax County. In checking my Halifax file, I found two mentions of "David Caldwell" - one as attorney for William Byrd in a transaction and one in connection with a tract on Elkhorn Creek. I have not been able to place the tracts - apparently I am spatially challenged! Grin.

Is anyone on this list currently interested in the Bannister River area of what is now Halifax County (formerly Lunenburg)? I am interested especially in the Caldwells and their neighbors. Carmen J. Finley Santa Rosa, CA

Those of you who have received the update should be able to do the following procedure. If this procedure does not work, please contact us by separate email (sparing the good souls on this email list!) If you attempted some other kind of editing action and it doesn't appear to work, please provide us a list of steps you performed and we're happy to look into it. Our address is deeds@rcn.com. 1. Start the program and open a deed file. Go to the Plot View. 2. Click once on the Edit menu. Cut, Copy, and Paste commands should be disabled. 3. Click on a parcel so it lights up in pink. 4. Click once on the Edit menu. Cut and Copy commands should now be enabled. 5. Select Copy. 6. Click once more on the Edit menu. The Paste command should now be enabled. The problem we fixed was that the command would remain disabled. 7. This should be proof enough, but if you like, select Paste. A second copy of the deed you selected will now be visible, offset slightly from the original. You may need to zoom in to see the two copies. 8. Exit the program, don't save any changes.

We doubt it, but just to be sure, try the following: Start the program and open a deed file Go the Plot View Click on a parcel Select Edit>>Copy Click on the Edit menu and look at the Paste command. If it is enabled you do not need the update. If the Paste command is disabled you do.

The butternut or white walnut (Juglans cinerea L.) is smaller than the black walnut, though in the highlands and where it attains its best development, it reaches a height of 70 feet and a diameter of 3 feet. The trunk is usually forked or crooked and this makes it less desirable for saw timber. The bark differs from that of the black walnut in being light gray on branches and on the trunk of small trees, becoming darker on large trees. This tree may also be distinguished from black walnut by the velvet collars just above the scars left by last year's leaves. . . . The wood is light, soft, not strong, coarse-grained, light brown, and takes a good polish. It is used for interior finish of houses and for furniture. _Common Forest Trees of Virginia How to Know Them, A Pocket Manual_ 8th edition (Charlottesville, Va.: Virginia Forest Service, 1936), 14. ----- Original Message ----- From: <JGSull@aol.com> To: <DEED-MAPPER-USERS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, February 14, 2003 7:05 PM Subject: [DMU] Butterwood > In at least two patents I have run across the phrase "butterwood or maple" > This is not in agreement with the butterwood/sycamore and > butterwood/persimmon suggestions.

In at least two patents I have run across the phrase "butterwood or maple" This is not in agreement with the butterwood/sycamore and butterwood/persimmon suggestions. There is a Butterwood Swamp in Dinwiddie Co; perhaps someone there knows for sure!?
