Hello Rutherford Co. researchers: I discovered this site online tonight while surfing around looking for records of land warrants and deeds. The University of North Carolina H. Ramsey Library Special Collections has some wonderful maps, documents, etc. noted as Speculation Lands Collection (1752 - 1930) online. This is part of their Tench Coxe collection and includes a great deal of information on his Rutherford Land Speculation Company. Includes land which was early Burke and Rutherford, later included Buncombe, Polk, Henderson Counties, et. al. If you are researching Rutherford Co., NC ancestors you will find some interesting information here: http://toto.lib.unca.edu/findingaids/mss/speculation_lands/default.htm Charmaine
