Owen Minor receives his gift of land first, in 1767. John receives 1105 acres as a gift from his father in 1771. These two parcels go from White Oak Run up to Hunger Run. John's land is on the north, and south of Hunger Run and Owen's is south and east of Poe's Mountain to White Oak Run. The parcels adjoined.
Various deeds state the land owned by the brothers, touched.
John Minor buys and sells numerous land parcels over the years. The house he lived in is still there today. He bought a parcel of land adjoining John Lawlor, which was a number of miles from his original sight, adjoining his brother, Owen Minor. After Owen Minor's death John Minor collects the debts owed to his brother Owen and also pays Owen's debts. There are court cases showing this action.
