Title and grant references

Notes for researchers
- On this page, Chilton’s abstracts may give a deed the parties of its neighbor: UNC Greensboro’s catalog of slave deeds disagrees with them here, and on pages checked against the deed images the catalog was right. Check the deed image before relying on the parties.
- The date falls outside the years this book usually covers; it may be misprinted.
