Loyal Company Surveys
Thomas Walker, Esq. on behalf of himself and
the other members of the Loyal Land Company, presented to the land Office
sometime prior to May 1783, the following list of surveys made for almost
1,000 early adventurers on the Western Waters under the terms of the Loyal
Company grant. These records are not individually dated, but from other
sources the dates of the survey can usually be obtained. These records
were found in the Augusta County Chancery Suit file N.S. 183 (1834), and
a similar list was also located in the Loyal Company papers at the Archives,
Virginia State Library. The list at the Library is probably more significant
because in many instances it shows the name of the person receiving the
grant. Some of these were issued as late as 1817. It is apparent that many
of those who received the surveys did not remain long enough in the community
to receive the grant for the land, and many others transferred their interest
to new settlers who perhaps received the grant many years later.
The following list was carefully prepared
from both lists mentioned above, but then as now, some writing was difficult
to decipher. When there is any doubt about the name, an alternate spelling
is given. In some cases, two spellings were given in the original. The
numbers which follow the names indicate the number of acres surveyed. In
addition to locations on the New River, many of these surveys were located
on various branches of the Holston and Clinch rivers.
