Foreward
Rutherford County was originally part of Davidson County, Sumner County, Wilson
County and Williamson County. The land records of Davidson County contain many
deeds on Stones River some of which near Donelson are still in Davidson County. The
records of deeds on the east and west forks of Stones River and Falling, Stuarts, Cripple,
Overall, Bradley, Big Hurricane and Hart Spring Creeks are mainly now in Rutherford
County.
This information was taken from two rolls of microfilm records in the Tennessee
State Library. Many of the first land grants are recorded but not all. Some of the early
grants may be in Greene County records. Other early grants can be found in Sumner,
Wilson, Williamson and Rutherford County records. Some of the grants were not regis-
tered until after Rutherford County was formed in 1803. Some of the grants were regis-
tered in Davidson County and state that they were in Wilson County at that time.
This information may be of some use to researchers of early Rutherford history
and its people. A copy has been placed in the County Registers Office and in Linebaugh
Library.
One puzzling item in the land grants that cannot be explained is the grant numbers
in the Davidson County records do not all match up with the grant numbers in the book.
North Carolina Land Grants in Tennessee 1778-1791 bv Cartwright & Gardiner, 1958.
Many times the Davidson County number is one ahead of the book number. Also only
the land owners names appear in the index of this paper.

Editor's Note
Many interesting facts came to light as this book was being typed. Not too familiar
measurements were used such as: a pole is 16'/2 feet; a chain is 66 feet or 100 links; 80
chains equal to 1 mile; a link is 7.92 inches. Trees were often used as landmarks. Some
trees that were native to the area in 1784-1806 are extinct now or are called by other
names. It was interesting to read about the trees which still flourish in the Stones River
area today. Many of the streets and roads today have the same names as the early
landowners in this area. Preemptors listed at the back of this book are those first settlers
who were landowners before Tennessee became a state. You may find one person's
name listed several times in the Index. That name may be spelled several different ways
as well as abbreviated, but the editor did not feel she had the right to change the spelling
from the original transcript. It was also interesting to learn that the most popular first
name of the early landowners was "John.''
