                                        Little River Land Plats

        (All plats cited are from the records of the Surveyor General’s Office
in the State of Georgia.)

Edward Black - The 500 acre plat surveyed for Edward Black (also depicted as
Blake) is found in Plat Book B, page 72. The survey was authorized on November
12, 1783 in a Land Court of Wilkes County presided over by Benjamin Catching
Esq., Senior Justice. It was executed on December 26, 1783 by James McFarland
D.S. The grant was issued to Edward Black on September 21, 1784 by Governor John
Houstown and it was registered on September 24, 1784. (Grant Book FFF, page 296)
The plat is dated more than a year after Foster and Bedell and as such it shows
that by late 1784, Bedell has purchased the southern portion of Fosters land. 
Along the western boundary, Absalom Bedell and William Foster are shown as
neighbors. On the north is Benjamin Thompson, on the east is Stephen Gafford,
and on the south is "Grants land."  Edward Black is an interesting plat as it
shows continuations of two streams, one the first branch of Beaverdam, and the
other a steam that flows into Little River just east of Beaverdam Creek.
