Up until 1729, Carolina was owned by eight Lords
Proprietors. The Lords Proprietors were
responsible for issuing the original land grants in North Carolina. The grants of land from the Lords Proprietors
are mostly recorded in the Patent Books at the North Carolina State Archive in
Raleigh. Margaret M Hofmann has
published an excellent volume of abstracts of the LP grants in the Patent
Books:
http://search.lib.unc.edu/search?R=UNCb1646313
However it is clear that the Patent Books are an incomplete
record of the Lords Proprietors grants. In an effort to supplement the LP
grants abstracted by Hofmann, I present here a list of land grants found in
various county deed books in eastern North Carolina. I have not inspected any of the original deed
books myself; I am relying on abstracts published by others.
