Ignatius Few - The 200 acre plat surveyed for Ignatius Few is found in Plat Book A, page 66. The warrant for the survey, dated September 5, 1783, was issued by a Land Court in Wilkes County, presided over by William Downs Esq., Senior Justice. The survey was executed on January 13, 1784 by Ignatius Few D. S. The grant was issued to Ignatius Few on February 6, 1784 by Governor John Houstown and it was registered on February 9, 1784. (Grant Book DDD, page 58) The plat of Ignatius Few is crisscrossed by Hardin’s Creek and an unnamed road. The neighbors are depicted as Noradike on the west, John Mulkey on the north, Benjamin Few on the east and Wilson on the south. Silas Mercer’s survey shows Ignatius Few as a neighbor on the south and John Mulkey’s survey shows Few on the south. On December 10, 1793, Jesse Mercer sold 200 acres on Hardin’s Creek to David Russell. The deed notes that this land had been previously granted to Ignatius Few on February 6, 1784. (See Wilkes County Deed Book NN, page 46.) However, the 200 acres depicted on the survey for Ignatius Few seem to have also been surveyed for the heirs of John Thornton. (See Heirs of John Thornton.)
