Entries below Numbers 38 and 256 from Giles County, Tennessee Land Warrents
38 - Entry 88 for Joseph CALVERT, 102 A on waters of Sinking Creek of Elk River; adj. Soloman BEANFORD; Isaac JONES; Joseph CALVERT; James BRITT; in edge of a hurricane. [See Land Entry Book Apr 1824-Feb 1848.] Surv. 30 Jun 1824. Josiah E. MADDOX & Joseph CALVERT, C.C.
[NOTE: The word "hurricane" being a landmark led me to read the entry. The name James BRITT should be "James BRIGHT". Solomon BEANFORD'S correct name is "BENFORD". The entry also read "... N to an old marked line believed to be heirs of LOCKHART and with that line ....". I read the deeds of LOCKHART names and found Samuel LOCKHART of Northampton Co., N.C. had been granted 5000 A for his Revolutionary War service. The land was claimed and awarded to his heirs. On 7 Jan 1824 Robert LOCKHART sold his 1/3 share in Lot 34 in Elkton to Nicholas and Samuel FAIN which had been deed to the three by James BRIGHT of Lincoln Co., TN. Because of the other misspelled names that "hurricane" probably was meant to be Nicholas FAIN.]
