The earliest history, including a list of Pre-emptors in Davidson County, and facsimiles of some North Carolina assignee, military, and pre-emption grants, takes up the first seventy-three pages of Earliest Tennessee Land Records . What follows is the alphabetized list of first owners, the file number, name of assignee (if any), the county in which the land was located, acreage, grant number and date, entry number and date, book and page number, and location by stream name. If this was a grant for military service, it is so noted. Therefore, we find Lewis Shilks, file 423, Assignee Jesse Cobb, County of Tennessee, 640 acres, filing a grant dated 31 December 1793 for military service. The land was located on the main East fork of Guesses Creek (p. 368). The almost 400 pages of entries are followed by a timeline of Tennessee land laws with the source citation, map, and description of Indian treaties.
