North Carolina Land Grants in TN 1778-1791

transcribed by Virginia L. "Ginny" Keefer

When North Carolina gave up her claim to TN, the Secretary of State of the U.S. requested a list of the lands that had been granted in that territory so the right of ownership could be protected. Microfilm # 68, Roll # 1 is a microfilm copy of this report as it was reported to the President by Thomas Jefferson. ( The original report from NC has not been found). There is also a note that 2,275 more warrants had been issued to officers and soldiers of the Continental Line for which grants had not yet been made.

From Goodspeed's History of TN -1887- the following information was given on the grants. A soldier received 640 acres; Non Commissioned Officer 1,000 acres; Lt Col. 5,700; Commandant 7,200; Col. 7,200. Brig. Gen. 12,000; Chaplin 6,200; soldier who had fallen in the defense of his country received the full amount of his grant.

Any family that had previously moved into the area reserved for grants was given a grant of 640 acres. Nothing indicated that residence was required to receive a grant, therefore, it is possible grants were given to many people who never were residents of TN. There were also many peolpe who lived in TN but received the title to their property in some other manner and do not appear on this list; i/e purchase or other land acts.

Location of grants was very vague, such as on the back of Lick Creek.

Biography

Wikitree: From his Find-a-Grave memorial: Son of Michael F. Houghton and Elizabeth Harris. His father died in England in late 1800 while on a voyage to purchase goods for his mercantile store in Augusta, Georgia. He lived in Georgia until the 1840s, where he was a farmer, merchant, postmaster and legislator.

He married (1) Mary Mayo (1810-1839)in Georgia about 1832. They had two children: William Michael Houghton (b. 1834), and Louisa Houghton (b. 1837), both born in Georgia.

In 1840, he married (2) Mary Frances Doney (1824-ca 1860). About 1845, the family left Georgia, and were living in Titus County, Texas, by 1846. Here, he was a merchant.

He was elected to the Eighth Texas Legislature as representative from Titus County, Texas, serving from 7 Nov. 1859 until 13 Feb. 1860. He was census taker in 1860 for Titus County, Texas. In 1861, he moved to Williamson County, Texas, where he remained for the rest of his life. He and Mary Frances (Doney) Houghton were the parents of nine children.
