EARLY LAND GRANTS, HENDERSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE

Jonathan Kennon Thompson Smith

Historical Background

In 1782 the North Carolina legislature set aside a military reservation in what is now upper middle Tennessee. Land grants were made there for Revolutionary War veterans as compensation for their military services. When he had served out his enlistment, a soldier was issued a certificate testifying to his service and honorable discharge or he had to wait and make claim for his service years after the war. He could be rewarded with a grant of land in the western territories. The amount of acreage alloted was determined by military rank.

According to the Land Act of 1782 no claims could be entered before October 20, 1783. Within a few months astute eastern land speculators had sent out surveyors to lay off the best land for themselves, buying military warrants from veterans to convert into land claims for themselves. An entry had to be made for the amount of land due the claimant and the survey with a plat drawn. It then was submitted to the secretary of state of North Carolina who was authorized to issue a grant after it received the signature of the governor. The land office closed in Hillsboro, North Carolina in May of 1784 after operating only seven months during which some four million acres of Tennessee land had been processed.

Even after North Carolina had ceded its western territory to the national government in 1790 the state retained the right to satisfy land grants for military service there. Then in 1796, when Tennessee was admitted into the union, the two states agreed to work together in settling land claims. Although the Chickasaw Indians had more or less agreed to relinquish their claim to land in middle Tennessee, James Robertson and Silas Dinsmoor signed a treaty of cession in July of 1805 with them for the east and north sections of the Congressional Reservation. In April of 1806 the United States agreed to turn over jurisdiction of all land grants to the state of Tennessee.

An important provision of the federal legislation of 1806 regarding the Congressional Reservation was that there should be insufficient land in that reservation then the land south and west of it could be entered. This country became known as the Western District. The United States laid claim to all land east of the Mississippi River based on the Royal Charter of 1663 when the English monarch placed theoretical claim to the eastern and transmontane lands in the south. However, in reality the state and national governments treated with the various Indian tribes for this vast domain.

In 1806 Tennessee established two land offices, one with headquarters in Knoxville for east Tennessee and one in Nashville for west (now middle) Tennessee. Each office was supervised by a register who was qualified by law to issue land grants.

Acting in the interest of the United States the governments of Tennessee and North Carolina and commissioners Andrew Jackson and Isaac Shelby made a treaty of cession with the Chickasaws for all their lands in west Tennessee and western Kentucky. Naturally, this was followed by authorization by Congress in April of 1818 for Tennessee, rather than North Carolina, to "issue grants and perfect titles to land south and west of the Congressional line in settlement of these claims."

The cession called the Jackson Purchase by many persons was made on October 19, 1818 and thus was west Tennessee ceded to the "whites." The treaty of cession was accepted by the national government and ratified when it was signed by President James Monroe on January 7, 1819. The Tennessee legislature convened in October of that year and accepted the cession, expressed its intention of honoring old North Carolina land grants and established land offices to distribute the land effectively.

On October 23, 1819 the state legislature divided the Western District into seven surveyor districts. These were then divided into ranges that ran north and south in five mile squares called sections. HENDERSON COUNTY was located in Surveyor District 9. Until the county was created late in 1821 the persons living in what is now Henderson County were included in the domain of Stewart County as was most of what is now west Tennessee. Hence, the first land grants involving Henderson County often bore the name of Stewart County as the place within which the lands involved were located. Colonel John Purdy was the principal surveyor of the 9th Surveyor District with an office at first in what is now Lexington and soon removed to his own home-place near Mifflin.

For an individual to acquire public land legally by gaining a title he first had to secure a warrant or certificate from a land register or land commissioner for that specific acreage or else buy the warrants of others for land. Then he had to locate his land as a warrant just stipulated the amount of acreage involved not its location; after which it was entered upon an entrybook kept by an official entry-taker who could record this entry so that it might then be laid out by an official surveyor. Colonel Purdy had numerous deputy surveyors who actually surveyed these many plots. This process completed, the claimant then submitted survey and plot to the secretary of state of Tennessee who issued a land grant for the land, attaching a permanent number to the land grant and thereby preventing duplications of numbers and overlapping of some land grants.

Unfortunately the land entry and land survey records of Surveyor District 9 were evidently destroyed when the Henderson County courthouse was burned to a great extent in May 1863 or in July 1895 when a more destructive fire destroyed the county courthouse. Even so, all lands perfected to land grant status are known because the state land grant records have survived. The General Land Grants involving Henderson County were recorded, starting with General Land Grant Book T.

The present writer has attempted to abstract all the Henderson County land grants in the earliest general land grant books. In the following abstracts the page of the land grant book on which the land grant was recorded is given, followed by the land grant number, the grantee's name, the acreage, the date the land was entered, the date the land was surveyed and then the date of the actual land grant; followed by Surveyor District 9 (SD 9), the range (R) and the section (S). In the grants the county involved was sometimes given as Stewart County as that was the "parent county" for those living in Henderson County, and other west Tennessee counties as well before they were created by the state legislature and organized; Henderson County was created in November 1821 and some lands were in the granting process before and through that date.

Joseph Philips had entered 84 acres on warrant 2946, adjudicated by commissioners of west Tennessee, and this entry was later voided and said warrant re-entered on other lands within surveyor district 9, November 1, 1821 by virtue of entry 843 for 84 acres, the first entry had been processed, the first 84 acre entry surveyed and "a grant has by mistake issued thereon and that the land embraced by said first-mentioned entry, between the date of the withdrawal thereof and the date of the grant thereon, has been appropriated by another warrant and entry. "The register of west Tennessee was therefore instructed to void grant based on warrant 2946 "and that the surveyor of the ninth district is required to survey said entry number eight hundred and forty-three, if the same has not been already surveyed and the register is directed to issue a grant thereon," provided land based on entry 843 had not been granted previous to this act.
