One of the files contain some records of land grants issued from North Carolina for South Carolina, and a description of what this was about follows from the Introduction of the book, along with the HENDERSON grants: "North Carolina Land Grants in South Carolina", by Brent Holcomb, first published 1975. The border between North and South Carolina was a point of controversy for many years. Finally, in 1764, the border east of the Catawba River was surveyed. However, it was not until 1772 that it was surveyed west of that river. Before these surveys, over 1,000 land grants were issued by North Carolina in territory which is now South Carolina. These grants are in the present counties of Marlboro, Chesterfield, Lancaster, York, Chester, Union, Cherokee, Spartanburg, Greenville, Laurens and Newberry. As most researchers know, these counties did not come into existence ntil many years after the border was surveyed. In the period just after the survey, thes grants were considered Craven or Berkeley Counties, and St. Mark's or St. David's Parish, South Carolina. The North Carolina counties from which these land grants were issued were Bladen, Anson, Mecklenburg, and Tryon. Bladen County was formed in 1734; Anson was formed from Bladen in 1748 or 1749; Mecklenburg, from Anson in 1763; tryon, from Mecklenburg in 1769. Of course, if land could be granted, it could be sold or inherited. Therefore, the other records of these North Carolina counties should be consulted, especially deeds and probate records. Conveniently for the researcher, all of thes records are published in abstract form, and are easily accessible. Records of these grants after the border survey can be found in the South Carolina Land Memorials, the Charleston Deeds until 1785, and the deeds of the various counti es involved... >From Mecklenburg County.
