Information is requested concerning applications or other related documents that would have been filed for land grants that were issued by the State of North Carolina for services provided by their citizens during either the Revolutionary War or the War of 1812. While the land grants are documented, the application, or related documents, necessary to file for such land cannot be found and there is virtually no information as to the availability of such documents. The particular area of interest concerns such land issued that is located the southern part of Tennessee. Typical land grants that were issued include: Grantee: John Cunningham Grant No. 19087 Grant date: 28 April 1823 File Loc.: Mt. Dist., Marion Co., TN, Book 7, page 287 Grantee: John Cunningham Grant No., 19052 Grant date: 28 April 1823 File Loc.: General Grants, Marion Co., Book X, page 76 Grantee: John Cunningham Grant No.: 22845 Grant date: 8 Dec 1824 File Loc.: Mt Dist., Marion Co., TN, Book 7, page 701 (This land grant, by number, is also filed: General Grants, Marion Co., TN, Book Y, page 862) Such information has the potential of being extremely important as the John Cunningham in question is my g-g-grandfather and none of his known descendants attempting to find his origin and ancestry have been successful in finding such information. There is hope that the applications filed for such land would give some insight as to his point of origin prior to his arrival in Marion Co., TN in ca. 1822. His father was killed during the Revolutionary War and he was of age to have served in the War of 1812. Would greatly appreciate information leading to finding the North Carolina land grant applications. Herb Cunningham [email protected]
