The Grantee is the person who received, or purchased, the land. The Grantor is the person who sold the land. In most cases, the date of instrument (the day the two persons actually sat down at the table and made the deal) was a few days before the deed was filed. However, in some cases, it was years before the deed was actually filed and recorded at the courthouse. You may find copies of these original records at the Meriwether Courthouse, on microfilm at the Georgia Archives, or most likely on microfilm ordered from your local LDS Family History Center.
