From "[http://www.tn.gov/tsla/history/guides/guide10.htm Early North Carolina/Tennessee Land Grants @ the Tennessee State Library and Archives]": | |||
:<blockquote>In 1806, when Tennessee received the right to issue land grants, they discovered they had no records. A large North Carolina land fraud had caused the original records to be subpoenaed to North Carolina. Tennessee agents had to go to North Carolina and copy Tennessee records from the North Carolina books, which included both North Carolina and Tennessee grants. They also had to copy the entry and survey books. These records are in the Tennessee State Library & Archives, called Record Group 50, and are microfilmed.</blockquote> | From "[http://www.tn.gov/tsla/history/guides/guide10.htm Early North Carolina/Tennessee Land Grants @ the Tennessee State Library and Archives]": | ||
