Elisha Baker is granted 300 acres on Long Creek, beginning at a black oak at the head of Walnut Valley, running both sides of the creek, "including his improvements," for a consideration of ten pounds per hundred acres. Neighbors named are William Brigham (or Boggan) and Andrew Brigham. The grant is signed by Governor Richard Dobbs Spaight and Secretary James Glasgow.

Source: North Carolina land grant, Warrant No. 1170, Grant No. 337, 12 Jan. 1793, Greene County.

Issued the same day as Grant No. 1174, this tract explicitly incorporates land Baker had already cleared and improved, further extending his holdings along Long Creek.

Together with the 200-acre grant issued the same day and the original 1787 tract, this brings Baker's documented Greene County holdings to 1,180 acres. See the overview for how the three fit together.
