I am looking for sources of early land grants or land sells in Claiborne County. I believe the State of North Carolina and the Federal government provided land grants in Tennessee for service in the Revultionary War. Maybe Richard Henderson sold land. My James Carson acquired land in about 1783 in what is now Claiborne County. I believe he either settle in Powell Valley or along the Powell River. I am looking for his land record.

Some of my interests in this area include Dora Martin, mother of Lizzie (Lillie) Martin (b. 1903 Virginia) -- Dora had two brothers, Milton and another; and James Long, who served in the Confederate army and was born ca. 1840, probably in Virginia.

(I don't have all my info and dates handy at the moment.) If you fit any of these descriptions, please e-mail me at Jennet 23@aol.com. Thank you!
