(The Records of the Allison Land Deal
Compiled by Steve Carson
Copyright 2002 All Rights Reserved - In 1823 the “Allison Land Deal” cleared the title to many properties in the Three Forks area of Bedford County, Tennessee.  Settlers paid 30 cents per acre to obtain clear title and a set of mortgages record the transactions.  The land descriptions embedded in these mortgages provide a valuable description of the owners and/or occupiers of these tracts of land in 1823, describing the watercourses the lands were located on as well as the names of neighbors.  These mortgages are microfilmed by TSLA and are on the reel entitled “Land Book” that also contains the Bedford County TN Grant Book.)
