Granville Co. N.C. - Ejectments - Volume 2 (1818-1829)
Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
Granville County was formed in 1746, from Edgecombe County (formed in 1741 from Bertie). Granville was reduced in size, when Orange County gets part of the western side in 1752. Bute County was formed in 1764, from Granville County and then abolished in 1779, when Franklin and Warren County was created. The last division occurred in 1881, when Vance County was created from parts of Granville, Warren and Franklin counties.
Granville County has a 5-box collection spanning from 1788 to 1886. This book contains box 2. Subsequent volumes may be released as time is allocated to this effort.
Originally, the action of ejectment was intended to protect the rights of a tenant who leased the land. Ultimately, it came to be the principal method for determining the ownership of real property. When the question of title to land became the issue, it was essential to describe the property as carefully as it would be described in a deed to a purchaser. This led to enforcement of very strict technicalities by the court.
