The following is a transcription of a microfilm found at the NC Historical Archives. It was originally complied in the 30's by a company named Walker, Evans & Cogswell, that is now defunct. The following is an excerpt of the index for Randolph County Cranfords as Grantees' (those that received land) recorded from 1782 through 1900) The dates are not in order, but the order is by when the deed was recorded. I typed it exactly as they did, so there are some misspellings. Remember this list is not complete because all deed transactions, especially earlier ones, were not recorded.

This listing includes the record date, Gantee, Grantor, book, page, kind of instrument, and description of property.

Non-commercial entities are free to use this file privately, however, if you publish a reference from here, please give me credit and notify me. This list was transcribed to this electronic file by Melody Moss in October of 1999. I did my best to proof this, but if you find a mistake from the original document, please let me know. Happy Hunting !
