Original grantee
J E Burrell secured a patent in the same period that defined most of Cherokee County's title fabric, the headright, bounty, and donation grants that the Republic and State of Texas issued through the 1840s and 1850s. The GLO indexes it as Nacogdoches 3rd file 000728. with the patent issued to Duren, Jesse. Subsequent surface deeds, mineral severances, and lease records in Cherokee County rest on this original patent.
