Any of you who had ancestors who settled in Tennessee from 1779-1804 may be interested in the forthcoming book, "Cumberland Pioneer Settlers Atlas", the first volume to be published in the fall of 2008. Names of receivers of NC grants are listed on this site - I saw a William Burgess and other familiar names. Also on this site are signers of the Cumberland Compact, including Wm. and Thomas Burgess. The target area includes portions of Davidson, Sumner, Trousdale, Smith, Wilson, Jackson, and Macon counties in Tennessee. http://www.cumberlandpioneers.com/ Sandra
