Can someone please tell me something about land grants? Does anyone know how long it took before someone took possession of the land? I have a copy of a Perry Co land grant dated Jan 1835 to a Drury SAVAGE. I think it was in the part of Perry Co that later became Decatur Co because he shows up in the 1850 Decatur Co, TN, census. However, there are no SAVAGEs in the 1840 Perry Co, TN, census, so it is a mystery to me where he is. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks for your help.
