PREFACE

The f o l l o w i n g materials have been t r a n s c r i b e d from the Greenbrier County, V i r g i n i a (now West V i r g i n i a ) , LAND ENTRY BOOK. The book has been t r a n s c r i b e d i n i t s e n t i r e t y .

The law providing for the Land E n t r i e s obtained by Right of Settlement set the date for making these e n t r i e s a f t e r 1 January 1778, but the o f f i c i a l recording of the e n t r i e s d i d not begin i n t h i s book u n t i l January of 1780.

These records pre-date a l l other c i v i l records i n the county. For t h i s reason, t h e i r value to researchers i s great indeed. Some of those entering land claims by "Right of Settlement" stated how long they had been l i v i n g on the land. The o l d e s t c l a i m dated from 1752.

Most researchers are f a m i l i a r with county boundaries i n 1778, aware that Greenbrier County occupied a land mass covering what i s now the e n t i r e c e n t r a l p o r t i o n of West V i r g i n i a . Since these land e n t r i e s describe property l o c a t i o n , some of the f i r s t landed s e t t l e r s i n counties formed from that l a r g e r land mass w i l l be i d e n t i f i e d

There are perils in transcribing old records because the chances for error are great. The old style of penmanship, combined with the human tendency to impose personality into the script, make some words or numbers next to impossible to transcribe exactly, though every effort was made to use a magnifying glass to study out each word or number in question. Where there are questions in interpretation, make note of the page number inserted in parentheses after each entry, and ask the Greenbrier County Clerk to provide you with a photocopy of the original page to make comparisons.

The recorder of these e n t r i e s ( u s u a l l y the surveyor) was oftentime t i r e d and h a r r i e d , thus he omitted words, abbreviated given names, names of trees, or words which he commonly used. Where there are omissions of words, sentences, or paragraphs, i t w i l l be noted most of the time, though t h i s t r a n s c r i b e r often i n s e r t e d connecting words to make sense of the e n t r i e s . There were sometimes c o r r e c t i o n s made to s p e l l i n g s of place names for the sake of c l a r i t y , but no attempt was made to a l t e r s p e l l i n g s of names or numbers. Some names w i l l be s p e l l e d 3 d i f f e r e n t ways i n the same entry.

(The pages i n the entry book had been renumbered at l e a s t three times. The l a s t number assigned was the one used i n t h i s p a r e n t h e t i c a l number. In the course of renumbering the o r i g i n a l book's pages, some pages were given the same number. Such w i l l be noted i n the t r a n s c r i p t i o n ) .

INTERPRETATION OF PENMANSHIP: Where there i s a serious question about an i n t e r p r e t a t i o n of a word, i t w i l l be followed by ( ? ) .

OMISSIONS w i l l be i n d i c a t e d by a s e r i e s of broken l i n e s ( ).

UNREADABLE WORDS w i l l be i n d i c a t e d by a s e r i e s of broken l i n e s ( ).

DATES: Not a l l the e n t r i e s were dated. Perhaps only one entry on a page had a date a f f i x e d .

DIFFERENCE IN DATE OF WARRANT AND DATE OF ENTRY IN THE LAND ENTRY BOOK: Sometimes there w i l l be many years lapse betwen these dates. The date used i n the upper l e f t hand of each entry r e f e r s to the date i t was entered i n the land entry book. The date of the warrant w i l l be mentioned i n the body of the entry i t s e l f .

SPELLING OF NAMES: The SURNAMES w i l l be s p e l l e d as they appear i n the document, even i f there are 3 d i f f e r e n t s p e l l i n g s of the same name in the same entry. Abbreviated given names i n common usage, and r e a d i l y understood by most people, w i l l sometimes be s p e l l e d out i n f u l l i n the t r a n s c r i p t i o n .

SPELLING OF PLACE NAMES: Many of these are misspelled ( e s p e c i a l l y "Kanawha R i v e r " ) , i n the o r i g i n a l record, but are s p e l l e d c o r r e c t l y i n the t r a n s c r i p t i o n to lessen confusion of persons not f a m i l i a r with place names i n that area.

PUNCTUATION: The Surveyor often used no punctuation at a l l , but has often been inserted i n the t r a n s c r i p t i o n for the sake of c l a r i t y .

WORDS INSERTED: Where there are "connecting words" that have been omitted in the o r i g i n a l entry book, these are often i n s e r t e d i n the t r a n s c r i p t i o n f o r the sake of c l a r i t y .

INTRODUCTION TO VIRGINIA LAND RECORDS

The reading of a Land Entry Book can be very d u l l reading unless one understands the laws concerning i t . For t h i s reason, the fo l l o w i n g m a t e r i a l i s provided, t o the end that greater understanding might bring greater enjoyment of the mat e r i a l s , and a bet t e r understanding of t h e i r value.

The Virginia Legislature, in the May 1779 session, created an ACT FOR ADJUSTING AND SETTLING THE TITLES OF CLAIMERS TO UNPATENTED LANDS. When we see a LAND ENTRY BOOK in a courthouse, i t s c r e a t i o n and a l l things p e r t a i n i n g thereto have been determined by law. The thoroughness of the L e g i s l a t u r e i n cre a t i n g t h i s ACT withstood the t e s t of time so w e l l that no s u b s t a n t i a l changes were made to the law f o r w e l l over a century.

The e n t i r e t y of the ACT comprises several pages. The reader i s i n v i t e d to peruse HENING'S STATUTES AT LARGE, Volume 10, pages 35-57 (Richmond, V i r g i n i a , 1822). For our purposes, however, an abbreviated version w i l l s u f f i c e . The f o l l o w i n g materials w i l l have a p p l i c a t i o n ONLY to lands on the western waters, since that would apply to Greenbrier County. Rules governing the lands on the eastern waters are discussed at length i n t h i s Act, but are omitted from t h i s account.

PURPOSE OF THE ACT: Some c e r t a i n r u l e s should be esta b l i s h e d for s e t t l i n g and determining the r i g h t s to such lands.

TIME AND LOCALE FRAME INVOLVED: Surveys of waste and unappropriated lands upon any of the western waters before the f i r s t day of January, i n the year 1778.

WHAT DECLARATIONS ARE VALID: Treasury Rights (Warrants) for money paid the Receiver General duly autheticated upon e n t r i e s on the western waters regulary made before the 26th day of October 1763, f o r t r a c t s of land not exceeding 400 acres; and Warrants from the Governor f o r M i l i t a r y Service.

RIGHTS OF SETTLEMENT: With c e r t i f i c a t e s from the Commissioners of the r i g h t s , by settlement, upon which the en t r i e s were founded, GRANTS may and s h a l l issue t o them, and t h e i r h e i r s and assigns. In a d d i t i o n , i f they pay the Treasurer the con s i d e r a t i o n money required from other purchasers, they may be e n t i t l e d to the preemption of any greater quantity of land adjoining them i n con s i d e r a t i o n of settlement, not to exceed 1,000 acres.

CORN RIGHTS: No family s h a l l be e n t i t l e d to the allowance granted to s e t t l e r s by t h i s Act unless they have made a crop

4

of corn i n that county, or resided there at l e a s t one year from the time of t h e i r settlement.

PREEMPTION RIGHTS: (A Preemption Warrant was s i m i l a r to a Treasury Warrant. I t was issued by the land o f f i c e based on ac t u a l settlement of the land, or some p r i o r r i g h t ) . A l l persons since January 1, 1778, who have s e t t l e d any waste or unappropriated lands on the western waters, to which no other person has a j u s t r i g h t or l e g a l claim, i s e n t i t l e d to the preemption (takes precedence) of any qua n t i t y of land, not to exceed 400 acres, to include such settlement at the sta t e p r i c e to other purchasers.

IMPROVEMENT RIGHTS: A l l those who have b u i l t any house or hut, or made any improvements thereon, s h a l l a l s o be e n t i t l e d t o the preemption on the same terms, of any quan t i t y of land, to include such improvements, not to exceed 1,000 acres, and to which no other person has a l e g a l r i g h t or claim.

THE PROCEDURE FOR OBTAINING THE LAND: They must r e s p e c t i v e l y demand and prove t h e i r r i g h t t o such preemption before the commissioners of the county, pay the consid e r a t i o n money, produce the auditor's c e r t i f i c a t e f o r the treasurer's r e c e i p t , take out t h e i r warrants from the r e g i s t e r of the Land O f f i c e , and enter the same with the county surveyor, and comply with the r u l e s and reg u l a t i o n s of the Land O f f i c e .

RIGHTS OF PRECEDENCE: S e t t l e r s ' r i g h t s take precedence over lands due o f f i c e r s , s o l d i e r s , or t h e i r assignees, and i f a piece of "bounty land" i s already claimed by a s e t t l e r , the m i l i t a r y claimant or h i s assignee may be located upon other waste or unappropriated lands.

PRICE OF THE LAND: Ten s h i l l i n g s s t e r l i n g f o r every 100 acres, to be discharged i n current money, at the r a t e of 33.3% annually, before the grant issues, plus the common o f f i c e fees. (This was the r a t e set by the former ( B r i t i s h ) government). Persons who, or t h e i r h e i r s and assigns, had t i t l e t o land under the former government, had surveyed i t , and had not obtained patents, would receive grants upon payment of o f f i c e fees only.

LAND COMPANIES: Many people had s e t t l e d on lands without s p e c i f i c agreement with the land companies o f f e r i n g p u b l i c l y to s e l l the lands, and had made valuable improvements to the land. These lands, i f they were surveyed according to terms of the law (and t h i s surveyor law i s o u t l i n e d i n t h i s A c t ) , and were s e t t l e d , were to have t h e i r t i t l e s confirmed to them by the members of these companies, or t h e i r agents, at the p r i c e those lands were o r i g i n a l l y o f f e r e d f o r sa l e , plus i n t e r e s t . I f the survey contained more than 400 acres, a

5

s e t t l e r was not e n t i t l e d to more than 300 acres of i t unless he took the whole survey, to include h i s settlement, and leave the remainder i n one whole and convenient piece.

DISTRICTS: Because V i r g i n i a ' s acreage of waste or unsettled lands was so vast on the western waters, and i t would be such a hardship to those at great d i s t a n c e to handle these land transactions conveniently, the L e g i s l a t u r e created three d i s t i n c t d i s t r i c t s : The counties of Monongalia, Yohogania, and Ohio were to be i n one d i s t r i c t ; The counties of Augusta, Botetourt, and Greenbrier were yet another d i s t r i c t ; Washington and Montgomery Counties s t i l l another d i s t r i c t ; and the county of Kentucky was a d i s t r i c t to i t s e l f .

APPOINTMENT OF COMMISSIONERS FOR THESE DISTRICTS: The Governor, with the advice of his Counci l , would appoint four commissioners (any 3 of whom could act) who d i 1 >> >1 • -.-} £a • d i s t r i c t t o which they were appointed. Their f u n c t i n was to c o l l e c t , adjust, and s e t t l e the claims. They had the power to hear and determine the claims for settlement of the lands. They were to give at l e a s t 20 days p r i o r n o t i c e of the meetings wherein they would hear the claims. They were to a d v e r t i s e the time and place of the meetings at f o r t s , churches, meeting houses, and other p u b l i c places i n t h e i r d i s t r i c t s , and a l l persons who were i n t e r e s t e d were required to attend and put i n t h e i r claims.

DISPUTES: They were to administer an oath of o f f i c e t o t h e i r c l e r k , be attended by the s h e r i f f or h i s deputies, administer oaths to witnesses, punish contempt, enforce good behavior, award costs, and have free access to the County's Surveyor's Books, and pay the surveyor $3 d a i l y t o be i n attendance when needed. In matters of disputes, the person who made the f i r s t a c t u a l settlement (or h i s h e i r s or assigns) were to have preference. The c l e r k was to keep exact minutes of the proceedings, and enter the names of a l l the persons claiming e i t h e r lands f o r settlement, or the r i g h t of preemption. Disputes a r i s i n g were to be heard by the Commissioners, supoenas served, evidence heard, and these courts were to be conducted j u s t the same as ordinary courts of law or equity. The judgement of the Commmissioners, when rendered, would be f i n a l .

CERTIFICATES OF SETTLEMENT: The Commissioners were to d e l i v e r s a i d c e r t i f i c a t e s t o each s e t t l e r who met the requirements as o u t l i n e d by law. The c e r t i f i c a t e s were to t e l l the number of acres, time of settlement, describe the l o c a t i o n (metes and bounds), and note the q u a n t i t y of adjacent land to which the s e t t l e r had r i g h t of preemption.

PAYMENT OF COSTS: For every hundred acres, a down payment was made to the Commissioner for 10 s h i l l i n g s , plus a

6

c l e r k ' s fee of 10 s h i l l i n g s f o r each c e r t i f i c a t e granted. This c e r t i f i c a t e , when presented to the r e g i s t e r of the Land O f f i c e , along with an auditor's r e c e i p t , e n t i t l e d the bearer to an entry and survey, or a warrant f o r the lands.

KEEPING THE BOOKS: Immediately upon completion of the business i n the d i s t r i c t , the Commissioners were to transmit to the Land O f f i c e an exact l i s t , i n a l p h a b e t i c a l order, a t t e s t e d by the c l e r k , a l l c e r t i f i c a t e s granted to them, plus a d u p l i c a t e , signed and a t t e s t e d , to the County Surveyor, f o r t h e i r information. A f t e r the Commissioners paid the fees assessed to the s e t t l e r s , a TITLE was to t e l l the number of acres, what survey i t was i n , f o r which company i t was made, the p r i c e paid to the company, the date from which i t was to bear i n t e r e s t , and where there i s a greater q u a n t i t y of land contained i n the survey, i t was to be described as nearly as p o s s i b l e i n terms of i t s boundaries. A f t e r t h i s was done, the l i s t was to be transmitted to the c l e r k of the General Court, containing a l p h a b e t i c a l l i s t s of a l l c e r t i f i c a t e s granted by them, such to remain i n the o f f i c e of the c l e r k f o r the information of the companies concerned, a l s o as proof of t i t l e s .

FORFEITURES: I f the required p r i c e was not paid for these t i t l e s w i t h i n s i x months, the t i t l e would be n u l l and void.

FINDING THE EARLY GREENBRIER SETTLERS

At a Council of the V i r g i n i a governing body held 26 A p r i l 1745, a p e t i t i o n was submitted by John ROBINSON Senior and J u n i o r , Thomas NELSON Ju n i o r , W i l l i a m BEVERLEY, Robert LEWIS, Beverley ROBINSON, Henry WEATHERBOURNE, John LEWIS, John CRAG, W i l l i a m LEWIS, John WILSON, and Charles LEWIS, for them to take up 100,000 acres l y i n g on Greenbrier River northwest and west of the Cow Pasture and Newfoundland. They were granted four years i n which to survey and pay r i g h t s f o r these lands, and then return the plans to the Secretary's O f f i c e .

At t h i s same meeting, a p e t i t i o n submitted by Henry DOWNS, John BLAIR J r . , John WILLIS, George TAYLOR, Edward SPENCER, Robert and Thomas SLAUGHTER, W i l l i a m JACKSON, Alexander DUNLOP, James EWIN, and Edward FULLER enabled them to take up 50,000 acres l y i n g west of the Cow Pasture on Green B r i e r River, and they a l s o were granted four years time i n which to survey these lands and pay t h e i r r i g h t s , and then return the plans to the Secretary's O f f i c e .

At a c o u n c i l held 29 October 1751, another p e t i t i o n was submitted by Thomas NELSON and h i s group f o r them to renew that Order of Council granted them on 23 A p r i l 1745 for those 100,000 acres on Greenbrier River. Again, they were given four years i n which to survey, pay r i g h t s , and return the plans to the Secretary's O f f i c e . (See EXECUTIVE JOURNALS, COUNCIL OF COLONIAL VIRGINIA, pages 172-3, 369).

The V i r g i n i a Land O f f i c e records at the V i r g i n i a State L i b r a r y i n Richmond t e l l us that p l a t s and d e s c r i p t i o n s of surveys returned i n the Greenbrier area (located f i r s t i n Augusta County, then Botetourt County) were not c a r r i e d i n t o grants. Surveys under the Greenbrier Land Co. which r e s u l t e d i n the issuance of grants are f i l e d i n the s e r i e s Grants, entry 66. Those r e s u l t i n g i n the issuance of patents were destroyed annually. Each survey was f i l e d i n a separate f o l d e r , labeled with the name of the i n d i v i d u a l for whom the survey was made, county name, date of the survey, number of acres, and number of items i n the f o l d e r ) . (See VIRGINIA LAND OFFICE INVENTORY, pg. 32).

The surveys p r i o r to Greenbrier being made a part of Botetourt County ( p r i o r to 1769 ) are to be found i n the Augusta County Surveyor's records (See LDS m i c r o f i l m

15

#030,418). These are indexed by surname, but unless the surveyor's record contains a recognizable boundary such as the Greenbrier River or other landmark, or s p e c i f i c a l l y mentions that i t i s a Greenbrier Land Co. t r a n s a c t i o n , i t w i l l be d i f f i c u l t to a s c e r t a i n c l e a r l y who were the o r i g i n a l landowners i n that area.

The Greenbrier H i s t o r i c a l Society's JOURNAL of August 1963, pages 5-7, l i s t s a r t i c l e s i n various p u b l i c a t i o n s which t e l l about these surveys, and l i s t s those persons which could be i d e n t i f i e d as being i n Greenbrier County from 1750 to 1769. (Order from Greenbrier H i s t o r i c a l Society, Lewisburg, WV 24901, $7. ).

Not everyone who l i v e d i n the Greenbrier area could be i d e n t i f i e d since not everyone l e g a l l y owned land. In the e a r l y days, before the V i r g i n i a L e g i s l a t u r e created the laws c l a r i f i y i n g land ownership i n these remote areas, s e t t l e r s took up land by "Tomahawk r i g h t s " . Though the s e t t l e r s g e n e r a l l y respected one another's settlements as v a l i d , not a l l were ever recorded.

To i d e n t i f y these e a r l y s e t t l e r s i s a d i f f i c u l t task. The above mentioned Greenbrier H i s t o r i c a l Society's JOURNAL (pages 8-14) has a copy of the Day Book for Mathews Trading Post for the period between 1771 and 1773, i n which many e a r l y persons were l i s t e d who could not be found on the land records. Two p e t i t i o n s sent to the V i r g i n i a L e g i s l a t u r e , one i n 1777 and the other i n 1783, (See aforementiond JOURNAL, pages 15-16, and the JOURNAL of October 1969, pages 7-16), l i s t many persons who could not be i d e n t i f i e d on land records. The Land Tax Book of 1783 (copy of i t i n the August 1963 issue of the JOURNAL) l i s t s only the landowners, of course, omitting those who were not landed gentry, or those the tax c o l l e c t o r d id not record.

A c a r e f u l perusal of Lyman Chalkley's 3 volumes of CHRONICLES OF THE SCOTCH-IRISH SETTLEMENTS IN AUGUSTA COUNTY, VIRGINIA (Genealogical Pub. Co., Baltimore, r e p r i n t e d 1980) w i l l enable family researchers to pick up family names from court records and other records of Augusta County, even a f t e r Greenbrier became a county i n 1777.

A study of Botetourt County's land, probate, marriage, and court records between 1769 and 1777 w i l l a l s o prove to be u s e f u l .

V i r g i l L. Lewis' HISTORY OF THE BATTLE OF POINT PLEASANT contains many of the names of s e t t l e r s from the Greenbrier V a l l e y who p a r t i c i p a t e d in t h i s h i s t o r i c b a t t l e i n October of 1774. He i d e n t i f i e d the volunteers by the l o c a l i t y from whence they came.
