What are some of the identifying boundaries of the land or waterways when it was in Rowan county? This could help at least in identifying the current county--if not Rowan...

In 1762, my ancestor entered land in Rowan County. I would like to figure out where his property was actually located within the county (which may in fact be another county today). I have not used DeedMapper for several years and I have not done much in NC. Most of my Deedmapper experience was some patents and deeds in Virginia. I look forward to hearing from anyone with a similar interest.

I have a survey map using the SW by W and NW by N coordinates. I can't figure out how to map those two. By just substituting SW and NW, the tract looks the closest like the survey map but doesn't connect right. The survey map says the tract is 194 acres with the 6% allowance. But using my substitutions it ends up as 234.8 acres.
