In this important volume are abstracts of surviving loose papers from the Granville proprietary Land Office concerning Orange County. These papers include Entries, Warrants to the Surveyor and Surveys. Over a thousand documents concerning land in present Wake, Caswell, Person, Orange, Durham, Allamance, Chatham, Rockingham, Guilford, Randolph, and Stokes Counties have been abstracted. These records cover the period from the formation of Orange County in 1752 until the closing of the Granville Proprietary Land Office in 1763. The information from the papers in the Granville Proprietary Land Office may be the date of entry with a rough description of the land including the waterway and names of neighboring land owners, the warrant, the survey with names of chain bearers, sometimes the date the deed was issued, and any assignment that may have occurred along the way. What this does is place people in a particular place at a particular time up to forty years before the first census and prior to the Revolution. The Index contains more than 1,500 names.

These are the so-called "Granville Grants" from the Secretary of State Land Grant Office (held by the NC State Archives) for the original Orange County area, including what became Chatham, Caswell, Alamance, Person, and parts of Guilford, Rockingham, Randolph, and Wake Counties. A detailed introduction by George Stevenson, supplemented by the editor's research, explains what the Granville Proprietary was and the records created by it's Land Office. In his abstracts of the deeds, Mr. Bennett has included the metes and bounds description, the neighboring land owners, the surveys and plats with the names of the chain bearers and facsimile copies of the signatures of the grantees and the witnesses. This volume provides the at-home researcher with all the information to be found from examination of the original documents. There are 428 of these grants, of which less than 50 appear in surviving Orange County Deed Books. Since this is the one place where the researcher is apt to find his ancestor's signature (many wills and deeds not having survived), it is particularly convenient for the researcher to have a reproduction of the signature with the survey, plat, and abstract of the deed. The author has also included a notation as to the Patent Book and Deed Book where the grant is recorded. The format of this particularly useful book is pleasing. because of its size and location, Orange County is a pivotal county in tracing North Carolina lineages.

Bennett, Pub. 1989, Reprinted 2019, 8 1/2" x 11", soft cover, 160 pages, Index, ISBN #0-89308-996-6. This book continues the publication of metes and bounds descriptions of the original so-called "Granville Grants" fro the Secretary of State Land Grant Office (hel by the NC State Archives) for the original Orange County area, including what later became Chatham, Durham, Caswell, Alamance, Person, and parts of Guilford, Rockingham, and Randolph Counties. Because Mr. Bennett has included the surveys and plats as well as the signatures of grantees and witnesses, the user has at hand all the information from the original. Mr. Bennett has also included, courtesy of the British PRO, the "Plan(that) sheweth part of the Southern Boundary of the Lands Granted the 17th day of September 1744 by his Majesty King George the Second to the Rt. Honble. John Lord Carteret, now Earl Granville, as the same was laid out and marked in the Months of March and April 1746 by Eleazer Allen, Matthew Rowan, William Forbes, and George Gould, Esqrs." One of the fascinating things about this map is that it clearly shows the southern Granville line to have been run as far west as Rocky River in 1746 when all the published histories say the line was not extended taht far west until 1766. Mr. Bennett has presented the deeds and surveys with his usual expertise, and the volume is a MUST for anyone working in the vast are of original Orange County.

Orange County was formed in 1752 from Granville, Johnston and Bladen counties. Orange County lay within the Granville Proprietary. After John Earl Granville died, the land office closed in March 1763. Between 1763 and 1777 it was not possible to gain title to vacant land because there was no one to grant it. When the state opened its land office in 1777, entry takers were selected in the various counties; persons who swore allegiance to the State were then entitled to land at 50 shillings per 100 acres, The entry taker recorded the amount of land, the nearest watercourses, natural boundaries, and adjoining property owners; if in three months no one made a claim for the land, the claimant took a copy of the entry and warrant to the surveyor who then laid off and surveyed the tract., providing two copies of the plat. Sworn chain carriers assisted the surveyors. The paperwork was then forwarded to the Secretary of State, and grants were issued twice a year: in April and October. The grantess had tweleve months to register the grant, or it became void. The authors have abstracted the grants to include: grant number, name of grantee, patent book citation, date of entry, date of issue, entry number, name of grantee, acerage with metes and bounds description, date of survey, name of surveyor and chain carriers, and a facsimile of the plat.

Book excerpt: In 1790, America was in enormous debt, having depleted what little money and supplies the country had during its victorious fight for independence. Before the nation's greatest asset, the land west of the Ohio River, could be sold it had to be measured out and mapped. And before that could be done, a uniform set of measurements had to be chosen for the new republic out of the morass of roughly 100,000 different units that were in use in daily life. Measuring America tells the fascinating story of how we ultimately gained the American Customary System—the last traditional system in the world—and how one man's surveying chain indelibly imprinted its dimensions on the land, on cities, and on our culture from coast to coast.
