After obtaining contact information from Patricia CURL, I e-mailed Mitch
SIMPSON. A portion of his reply is as follows:
“When I stepped out of my truck this morning to pick up the newspaper I was
standing on the original border of George Cerlock's 1793 Cabarrus County
Land grant #1 issued for 200 acres by the state of NC. He sold the land too
soon for eventually there were several gold mines on the property. Frederic
obtained a grant of 200 acres about a mile to the NW of Georges tract. The
Goodnights, George, Henry, Christian and Michael had grants near present day
Concord.”
I have a brief review of the book at
http://shagbarkfarms.com/CabarrusLandHistory/index.html
…”
These are the same maps which I mentioned in my July 3, 2011, posting to the
Cabarrus County, North Carolina, mailing list. Note that Mr. SIMPSON was
listed in that posting as the copyright holder of one of the two books I
mentioned.

Mitch Simpson spent 5 years researching and preparing a map of the original
land grant owners of Cabarrus County. You can purchase a copy from him or
visit me in the local history room at the library in Concord to see a copy.
If you are interested in purchasing a copy, I have contact information for
Mitch.

Thank you to everyone who answered my previous query regarding a map of
early land holdings for the portion of Mecklenburg Co., NC, which became
Cabarrus Co., Dec. 29, 1792.
I have obtained copies of the following books which should be very useful in
helping me sort out information for the various members of my family who
lived in this area:
“Abstracts of Land Surveys & Warrants, Cabarrus County, NC, 1792-1916,” by
Dr. A. B. Pruitt; copyright 2009 by A. B. Pruitt.
“Cabarrus County, NC, Surveys (1747-1916; 1,500 surveys in 24 maps), by Drs.
H. Mitchel Simpson and A. B. Pruitt; copyright 2010 by H. Mitchel Simpson &
A. B. Pruitt.
See the following site, listed as the single entry “Cabarrus Co, NC Land
Warrants (1792-1916) & Surveys (1747-1916),” for further information about
these two publications:

Meanwhile, I have also found the following on-line source which shows the
locations of land holdings for some of my relatives who were original land
holders in Concord, NC:
LORE, Eugenia W., Map of Concord, Cabarrus County, NC, as laid out in 1796 (
