Loyal Company by Edmund Pendleton and Nicholas Lewis, surviving partners, vs. Cronk et als.-O. S. 124; N. S. 43--Bill, 28th July, 1803. On 12th July, 1749, the Council granted to the Loyal Company 800,000 acres beginning on North Carolina line and running westward, on condition that it should be divided into plats and surveys made and returned to the Secretary's office within four years. It was not completed in 4 years, and in June, 1753 the Council granted 4 years further time. This was interrupted by the French and Indian War, and at the close the Council was restrained by the British Government. Afterwards, the officers and soldiers entitled to lands under proclamation of 1763 began to make settlements and the agents and settlers under the Company petitioned the Council that they might hold of the Company, and soldiers might be restrained from interfering with them, and in 1773 the Council allowed the settlers to make surveys and return them to the office. One of these settlers was John Crunk, who refuses to say what is due the Company.
