COMPILATION OF KNOWN EARLY POYTHRESS DEEDS, PATENTS AND GRANTS (1637 – 1829)

Compiled by Michael Tutor. Posted to Poythress Rootsweb Mailing List on 5 Dec, 2005

The following list includes every listed deed that I have seen mentioning a Poythress. The list is chronological, with the life span of the individual Poythress, Y/N to indicate whether the full document is available, the seller of the property, the date of sale, the number of acres, and if the seller was not a Poythress, the name of the Poythress that was mentioned. This list adds another dimension to identifying the existence of different individuals and where they were involved in transactions.

The identifying life span with the individual in the entry is my identification of the individual. These will be looked at more closely as the different lists are completed and compared to the existing records. The number of Francis, William and John Poythresses make it necessary to evaluate the life events of each individual to discover the particular individual in each record.
