Land Grant of 640 acres made by Mirabeau B. Lamar as President of the Republic of Texas to James G. Hutchinson, assignee of Hiram A. Powers. This property, known as the H. A. Powers survey, was eventually purchased by Hiram McAdams on December 16, 1876. The succession of owners can be traced in the series of deeds listed on page 5 of the General Documents section.

Note: Even though Hutchinson selected the property, it is designated (even to this date) as the "H.A. Powers survey". All land grant properties were originally identified under the name of the person who originally qualified for and received the grant. This designation does not change regardless of any subsequent ownership of the property selected under the original grant.
