The 148 acres that John Green bought from Levi Peirce on 22 July 1794 had been sold by Robert Anderson and wife Jean to Levi Peirce on 24 December 1790. The original deed for this land, which is preserved in the “Lawrence Family Papers” in Clemson University Library’s Special Collections and Archives (box 1, mss 114), states that the land was bounded on one side by Six Mile Creek and on the other by the Keowee, and had been granted to Robert Anderson on 2 February 1789.
As with other original documents having to do with land that John Green and wife Jane Kerr sold in 1818 to Thomas Gates as they moved to Alabama, I think this deed passed from John and Jane Green to Thomas Gates when they sold their land to Gates, and when Gates re-sold the land to members of the Lawrence family in 1819, the documents then passed to that family.
