By: Dr. A.B. Pruitt, Pub. 2005, Reprinted 2026, 226 pages, Index, soft cover, ISBN #978-1-63914-796-0. Lincoln County was formed in 1779 from Tyron County and later parts of Burke County were added. This book contains abstracts of 180 cases of land transactions found in a box of loose papers that cover Lincoln County Civil Actions Concerning Land . The final court decision about many of the cases is NOT included. But the decision can be determined by consulting the court minutes (usually superior court) in the archives since we know the plaintiff and defendant from the loose papers. These loose papers also include cases moved to Lincoln County from Buncombe, Cleveland, and Rutherford Counties
