Johnston County, NC - Granville & Johnston County Land Grants ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE GRANVILLE DISTRICT AND GRANVILLE LAND GRANTS In 1663 King Charles II of England granted a large part of the Carolinas to eight men. Then in 1728 seven of these Lords Proprietors sold their land back to England, but the eighth share was not sold. After surveying, which began in 1744, it was determined that the land owned by John Lord Carteret, Earl of Granville, should be south of the Virginia line, bounded on the east by the Atlantic Ocean and on the west by the South Seas. The southern border ran along the southern borders of present-day Rowan, Davidson, Randolph and Chatham counties to the coast, and was known as the Granville District. The names listed below are those who received grants within the Granville District, but more specifically within Johnston County, from 1749 to 1763.
