Greenfield Plantation lands and the Trinity Area
" This land was once a part of the Greenfield Plantation. It is interesting to find that part of the homeplace, was part of the Tobia Smith grant of 1755. Smith conveyed 330 acres, his grant, to William Preston, May 13, 1760 for #60. By deed dated January 25, 1838 William C. Preston and his wife, Louisa, of South Carolina conveyed 530 acres of land "lying on the waters of Tinker Creek on the west side of The Forge Road, being a portion of the tract called Greenfield" to Benjamin Carper. This was the same tract of land conveyed to William C. Preston by William R. Preston by deed dated August 10, 1834.
Benjamin Carper sold this land to William B. Morton by deed dated May 5, 1845 with the exception of 10 acres of land which Carper had sold to Edward McDonald. William B. Morton conveyed 239 acres of the tract to Rutherford Rowland Houson by deed dated March 28, 1877. Houston also purchased 248 acres of land from the Estate of S.S. Wrightsman in 1893."
