I found a deed(E C Harrison to Wm Weaver) that was registered in Bedford Co TN Deed books(1851-1852) in 19 July 1850 though the indenture date was 13 Dec 1825.
The description mentions land Granted to William Harrison(640 acres on Alexander Creek)
"A Certain tract or parcel of land lying and being in the County of Bedford and State of Tennessee, in the Second District, Eleventh Section and said fourth Range. On the waters of Alexander's Creek. And being a part of a six hundred and forty Acre tract of land, Granted to William Harrison"
It wouldn't be the same as the Bounty Land listed in the pension papers for Wm & widow Elvira. I would think that was federal and the 640 acres would be granted by the state of TN.
I've contacted the TN State Archives and I'm awaiting their response which hopefully will point me in the right direction for finding out more about this grant.
