Oden, Peter O'Kelly, Nimrod The above list may be misleading for the following reasons: (1) The earliest entries, made in 1820, give a description of the land' location, but no County name. (2) The Grant Books are apparently copies and Grant Book C is a typewritten copy made in 1898, with many noticeable errors. (3) There are several instances of a person being listed as an occupant enterer of more than one county.
