Arthur Gross mapped out Crown grants made in what was once
St. Matthews Parish in Georgia. I assume he used the book
"English Crown Grants, St. Matthew Parish 1755-1775" and
grant records in the Georgia Archives as the basis for the
maps. I don't know who Arthur Gross is or was or when and
why he made the maps. However, I find the ones I've see
very intriguing, not only for generally locating where the
grants of my Braddocks and Cooks were and who their
neighbors were, but primarily, from seeing all the names on
it, I suddenly became aware of  what a hotbed of Colonial
and Revolutionary history St. Matthews was.
