John Green (1768-1837): New Information Added to Previous Posting

Original deed of Robert and Jean Anderson to Levi Peirce, 24 December 1790, in “Lawrence Family Papers,” Clemson University Library’s Special Collections and Archives, box 1, mss 114

As a previous posting here had indicated, on 22 July 1794, as John Green continued adding to his initial land acquisition of 838 acres in Pendleton District in May 1793, he bought from Levi Peirce 148 acres bordered by the Keowee River and Six Mile Creek. This land adjoined his 838-acre tract, and was land that Robert Anderson, who was the original grantee of the 148 acres, sold to Levi Peirce on 24 December 1790. In the “Lawrence Family Papers” of the Special Collections and Archives of Clemson University’s Library, I found the original deed by Robert Anderson and wife Jean to Levi Peirce for this tract of 148 acres. I’ve now added the following to the posting linked at the head of this paragraph:
