This North Carolina land grant index card records Grant No. 2997 to James Fortenberry for 27 acres in Rutherford County, on the Beech Shoal Branch of Second Broad River. The land was entered on July 13, 1814, and the grant was issued on December 7, 1816 (Book 130, page 390). James Leath Fortenberry was living in Missouri Territory by 1809, so this card may belong to another James Fortenberry who stayed in North Carolina. It is posted here for family researchers to evaluate.
