Hall and is totally ombraoed by State Grant No. 252 Which was issued by the State to John Gray Bount. As we have treated State Grant No. 252 by mesne conveyances from the time said grant was issued, up, through and inolucling the time .8a1d grant passed by the last will and testament of Ja mes H. Love to his executors. the same will not be repeated 1n this analysis, but may be seen by rete:renoe to tb.e analysis of title of the Sidney Nelson tract, beginning with paragraph l of s aid analysis• and ending with paragraph 10, pagcj 3, of this abstract, II, The first instrument w-e will consider affecting Traot No, 229 is a deed from the e:xeouto):'s of J ames R. Love to :r. v, Woody bear­ing date of october 5, 1681. The dos~r1ption 1n this deed embraces Treat No. 229. Tl:lis deed is or l"eoord in Haywood County. see page ~0~of this abstract, veyed to .Americus Hall Tract No.- 229• In maldng this conveyance, :r. v. Woody reserved one•half an acre,. more or less, for grave yard purpose~t.

IV • The ntxt 1n;'tl"UUD.ent affeottng'>T:raot No. 229 is s deed t'rom R, n. Gilme_r, trustee and administrator de bonis non, to the school committee for District No. 51. Thia deed conveys a tract containing o:nrth1r4 or ~n acre, more or less, .':'!niob tract 1s a portion or Tract No. 229. We have fully ~reatecl the authority or R• D,.

See page . ?0·~ · ot t his abstract. v. On July 1, 1907• the board of education of Haywood ca~nt7 composed of J. E. Wilson, ;r. K. Boone and J • . F. Shelton1 oo~veyed the ' ' ' tre.ot ot l and mentioned in the preceding paragraph to Americus Hall. This deed is somewhat. irregular• but we are of the opin1o.n that the irregularities are immaterial; since the present owner has been in possession ot said tract, under color of title• :for a pe:ri<Xl ot 20 years,.

This 34-acre tract 229 in Cataloochee was owned by M. N. (Americus) Hall. While, in general, the Great Smoky Mountains region was sparsely populated, the Cataloochee Valley remained an exception. By 1900, the population of Cataloochee had grown to 1,000 residents living in hundreds of log and frame homes. A few historic buildings have been preserved on site, including two churches, a school, several homes, and outbuildings. The North Carolina Park Commission was tasked with purchasing land for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and people living in Cataloochee were among those displaced. Cataloochee families continue to return for annual reunions. In 2001, the National Park Service re-introduced elk into the valley.
