George Lea (#2) - The 180 acre plat surveyed for George Lea is found in Plat Book H, page 286. The warrant for the survey, dated May 8, 1786, was issued in Wilkes County by Stephen Heard Esq., Senior Justice. This new warrant replaced an older warrant dated August 10, 1785. The survey was actually executed on August 11, 1785 by William Fletcher, D.S., and Sam Creswell, C. Surveyor. The grant was issued to George Lea on January 12, 1787 by Governor George Matthews and it was registered on January 19, 1787. The plat is notable because it joins with another plat of George Lea. It also shows the headwaters of Mercer Creek. Neighbors surrounding Lea are: John Thornton on the west, Hugh Jones and George Lea on the north, Whatley on the east and Jesse Talbot on the south.
