In the record

Royce’s schedule records 6 cessions that lie at least partly in North Carolina, from 1785 to 1835, under 5 treaties, agreements and acts. The peoples named most often are Cherokee.

Written from the records linked here; open any of them for its sources.

Everything here is linked at state level only. The atlas does not look up addresses or parcels, and a cession touching a state does not tell you whose land a particular place is.
