For those of you who did not receive the URL on the Warrenton Land Fraud the URL is http://www4.ncsu.edu:8030/~rkoonts/war_frauds.html On the example of the entries in the Pruitt books on the Glasgow Land Fraud - Guy said Willis Pipkin did not have an heir by the name of Zach Pipkin so guess in at least some cases these men were making up the names of heirs in order to get the land. Not to mention the fact that Willis Pipkin did not die until 1818. Billy sent this URL for the Glasgow Land Fraud. As the author states in the intro, there are several ways to look at this event, and his is from the standpoint of how it affected the formation of the Court System in NC. It is a lengthy thesis. Pruitt went at it from a different angle and of course, he provides thousands of names. Both mention the involvement of Andrew Jackson probably because of revenge for the marriage to Rachel thinking she was divorced. http://www4.ncsu.edu:8030/~rkoonts/thesis.html Martha
