I have an old Randolph Co land grant , I would like someone to explain The actual land grant seems entered Dec 1813 and the order to the surveyor is dated Oct 1814 . this order calls for land 101acres to be laid on on the waters of Mills stone Creek It further calls for the land to adjoin Anthony Rains on the west . It looks like the actual survey was then done and it is still on the waters of millstone creek it begins at a Point oak ? on Moffits corner in Yorks line , runs south forty four chains to a black jack in Wilkensons line then east twenty three chains to white oak by a branch then north fory four chains to a stake in Moffitts line then west on Moffitts line to the beginning . this creates a neat rectangle however . Why does it no actually border Millstone creek ? and why did it not border Anthony Rains on the west ? as originally ordered .any iformation re this grant is greatly appreciated Patricia Perkins
