Benjamin Pyburn, East Tennessee Land claim, ca 1770's

Benjamin Pyburn, East Tennessee Land claim, ca 1770's

Posted: 10 Dec 2006 2:37PM GMT
Classification: Deed
Surnames: Pyburn/Pilborn, Wheelock/Whilloch
In researching my Wheelock/Whillock family, I found reference on a land grant that my John Wheelock took possession of a piece of property known as "Benjamin Pilborn's old claim". It's not much information, but it places Benjamin in the Washington County area of east Tennessee before 1795. The grant makes mention of "an old improvement thereon". Hope this helps someone.
