Volume II - Cumberland Pioneer Settlers Atlas

Target publication 2009

A continuation of Part I with focus on all or portions of Cheatham, Davidson, Montgomery, Robertson, Sumner & Macon counties shown below.  This volume will include selected North Carolina Grants, Maps, Roads, Traces, Pioneer and Indian trails as well as history.  The network of roads to Kentucky are identified and linked to road systems outlined in Volume I. 

• Land Grant officials: Martin Armstrong - Surveyor Continental Line, Daniel Smith - Davidson County Surveyor and Samuel Barton - Entry Officer. The following men were designated Deputy Surveyors:
  Martin Armstrong, Henry Bradford, Joseph Brock, William Christmas, William Crutcher, John Donelson, Robert Ewing, Anthony Foster, Squire Grant, Ed Harris, Robert Hays, Edwin Hickman, Thomas Johnson, William Lockhart, David McGavock, James Mulherin, William Nash, Robert Nelson, George Nevill, John Payton, B. William Pollock, Isaac Roberts, Henry Rutherford, James Sanders, Daniel Smith, George Walker, Robert Weakley, Sampson Williams
  The number of surveyors will be increasing as identified.

• Pioneer Grants - 194 North Carolina land grants issued to 136 men and women.  Images of each grant & surveyor plats included as well as transcriptions - each placed on modern day maps. Locations shown are directly from the surveyor and are intended to show general locations. Many grant lines were often disputed and were only resolved later in the court systems. What we show does form the base for further examination with subsequent deeds as to more precise placements, should that level of detail be desired.
  The number of Pioneer Grants shown will be increasing as identified and placed. The eventual totals are not known at this time.
