Derick; This a great update! I thought, perhaps, you might be interested in also listing a link to these Speculation land records which the University of North Carolina -Asheville, D. H. Ramsey Library Special Collections has put online - Speculation Lands Collection (1752 - 1930) [part of their Tench Coxe collection]. I just discovered this tonight and it is really interesting with lots of land which was in the old Burke and Rutherford areas, i. e, Broad River, Second Broad River, Green River, etc. Includes some early maps. http://toto.lib.unca.edu/findingaids/mss/speculation_lands/default.htm I've already found some great stuff here and still looking it over.
