You may be referring to the land grand of Jacob Setzer which, between 1777 and 1782 was in Burke County. After that time it was Lincoln (later, Catawba County). The research on this was probably done by Kathy G. Sullivan but I am missing the exact citation. As for the name change, I will leave that to others who possess more knowledge than I. --Derick 1. Jacob SETZER Jr. was born about 1756 in Lincoln (Catawba) County, North Carolina and died about 1834 in Franklin County, GA. Jacob Jr. served in the Revolutionary War from Franklin County, GA. He was a member of Colonel John A. Patrick's Regiment, composed of Majors Shackleford's and Chandler's Battalion. Jacob II is listed on pages 319 and 331 of Lucian Lamar Knight's book entitled, "GEORGIA'S ROSTER OF THE REVOLUTION, Containing a List of the State's Defenders; Officers and Men; Soldiers and Sailors; Partisans and Regulars; Whether Enlisted form Georgia or Settled in Georgia After the Close of Hostilities." From Georgia's 1832 CHEROKEE LAND LOTTERY, Grant Book Cherokee 22-2, Page 208, Jacob's heirs received from the "STATE OF GEORGIA---all that tract or lot of land, containing one hundred and sixty acres, situate, lying and being in the Twenty-second District of the Second Section, in the County of Cherokee, in said State, which said Tract or Lot of Land is known and distinguished in the plan of said District by the number seventy eight." Jacob received from Burke County, NC, Grant No. 515, Entered 28 October 1778 and Issued 28 October 1782, 200 acres on Anthony Mill Creek. The Grant is recorded in Book 44, Page 237, File No. 513. BURKE COUNTY COURT MINUTES EXTRACTS, Page 92, lists this Grant as #994, p. 326. The Grant reads, "State of North Carolina -Grant No. 515 - Know ye that we have granted unto Jacob Setzer Two hundred acres of land in Burke County on Anthonys Mill Creek a branch of Clarks Creek and bounded as follows Beginning at a white oak Sapling Conrad Mingus corner in William Bosts line on the west side of the mill creek running thence East crossing the creek with Mingus line fifty seven chains and twenty five links (3778.5 feet) to black oak sapling at the head of a branch thence south thirty five chains (2310 feet) to a post oak Matthias Bovey's corner thence west with Bovey's line fifty seven chains and twenty five links to a stake in said Bost's line thence North up the Mill Creek with said Bosts line thirty five chain to the Beginning Including his Improvement. To hold unto the said Jacob Setser his heirs and assigns forever dated the twenty eighth day of October 1782. Alex Martin By his Excellys Comd. J. Glasgow-Sec." The survey of the above grant was made, the plat drawn, and was submitted by the surveyor on 4 December 1779. The name of the surveyor is illegible. Mathias Bovey and Adam Richard ? were witnesses. This tract extended from Anthony's creek, across present day Highway 321, well into the western part of Newton. Jacob sold 179 acres of this tract to William Bost, Jr. according to a deed in Lincoln Deed Book 28, pages 45 and 46, dated 4 October 1816. Jacob received $400 for the property. Maxwell Willson and Christopher Setzer witnessed the deed. A rectangular plot of approximately 21 acres (actually about 15 acres) in the north east corner of the original grant was not included in this transaction. This was likely retained for a homeplace for some members of his family. Christopher sold his cousin, Mathias Setzer, 10 of these acres 2 September 1818 according to Catawba County, NC, Deed Book 27, Page 506; the deed being recorded 30 December 1885. He also granted the 5 remaining acres to his sister, Esther, and her daughter, Sally, on 2 September 1818. No record has been found of this deed being filed.
