Cabarrus County was created in 1792 from Mecklenburg County. To get a grant [or patent] from the State for unclaimed, or vacant, land, a person went to the county entry taker and described the land. The entry taker usually recorded the date, the person's name, number of acres, nearby waterways, and neighboring land holders, if the enterer gave all this information. The entry taker then filled out a warrant of survey to the county surveyor. This warrant was an order to survey the land and usually described it the same as in the entry. The surveyor usually made field notes and made two copies of the survey and plat when he returned to his office, or his house. The warrant and surveys were then sent to the Secretary of State along with the fees required for a grant. Originally, entry takers collected all the fees; later the entry taker collected only his own fees. The Secretary of State then prepared a land grant which usually describes the land the same as in the survey. The Secretary of State and the Governor then signed the grant, and it was returned to the new owner or to a county official who distributed the grants. The new owner was supposed to record his new grant with the county clerk. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Albert Bruce Pruitt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1639148027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781639148028\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Southern Historical Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/11\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.49d","brand":"Albert Bruce Pruitt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48874749919487,"sku":"9781639148028","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cabarrus-county-north-carolina-land-albert-bruce-pruitt-9781639148028","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
