Nathaniel Jones Palmer 1849 Milton Land Grant
On November 27, 1849, Nathaniel Jones Palmer (c.1805-1854) was issued a North Carolina Land Grant for 2.3 acres beginning on Broad Street in what now is downtown Milton, Caswell County, North Carolina.
Click image to see a larger version of the property description, which was down the hill on Broad Street in Milton to Country Line Creek.
Note the reference to Lots 38 and 39, which are well-documented. Remember that Broad Street in Milton generally runs east/west. The easterly property line was established by two rocks on Country Line Creek.
I find this surprising as I believed all the Milton property had been developed. Was land abandoned and reverted to the state? Why was this not part of the original Milton land lots/plats?
