North Carolina, the United States Territory South of the River Ohio, and Tennessee, successively governed this land. Since the Indians assisted the British in the American Revolution, North Carolina believed they had relinquished their title to the land. The United States government honored Indian ownership and required title by treaty before granting land. In an 1806 compact, North Carolina, the United States, and Tennessee, agreed that Tennessee could issue grants, provided they honored all land warrants already issued by North Carolina, as well as any warrants they were required to issue. This took time. When North Carolina took control of her lands from the Crown in 1777, she established land entry offices in each of her counties. At that time, all of the occupied land in what is now Tennessee was Washington County, North Carolina. Settlement was primarily confined to northeast Tennessee. For forty shillings per hundred acres, each head of a family could buy six hundred and forty acres for himself and one hundred acres for his wife and each child. Any amount of land above that cost five pounds per one hundred acres. By 1779, the population had increased and an entry takers office was opened in Sullivan County, North Carolina (now Tennessee). These offices closed in 1781. The purpose of this work has been to compile the entire body of statutes dealing directly and indirectly with questions of titles to lands in Tennessee; to give the constitutional and statutory provisions establishing and changing the State boundary and county lines ; and to present a brief digest of the leading decisions on the land laws. Of necessity Part I has been based on the compilation of land laws of 1831 by Haywood and Cobbs, but the scope of that volume has been enlarged upon to some extent. The date of passage of acts since 1830 has been given, but the dates of the different sessions of the legislatures will sufficiently account for the approximate date of passage of earlier acts. The constitutional authority and legislative enactments affecting the State boundary and the establishment and change of every county in the State comprise Part II. Part III has been carefully prepared from the Reports. Where a reported syllabus was found to express the opinion well it was used, and acknowledgment thereof is here made. TABLE OF CONTENTS.
