JoRetta,

Try this link....you can search for any land patent. It will ask for your zip code just to track areas utilizing their recoreds. It will give you various infor as listed in the posted e-mail as well as show you a copy of the land grant that you can save to a file I believe once you give your zip code and the home page comes up, SEARCH is at the top of their page....it's easy to overlook and I've spent a lot of time reading all the blogs on the page and gotten frustrated before I realized this.

http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/Logon/Logon-Form.asp

You can search by the complete name or by the last name only (this one is required). You can also narrow you search by selecting the state the grant is in.

Hope this helps.

Sue

Ms. Perryman:

Would your patent records show any information on John Ratliff, Job Ratliff, William Ratliff, James Ratliff or Thompson Ratliff? Time frame would be about 1826 - 1840. Counties would probably be Washington and Crawford.

Thanks you,

JoRetta Lewis

A land patent record tells the following information:

Patentee's name, Volume and Page Number, Land Office, Date, Doc. and Misc. and Doc. Numbers, Transaction Type, Warraniee's Name, Multiple Patentees, Remarks, Description Part Number, Twp and Range.

These do not include patents issued after 30 June 1908, when the new record keeping program began in the General Land Office. If a transaction was canceled it will most likely not be included in the book.

I have one on Crawford, Washington, and Carroll Co. of Arkansas. I am going to get one on Franklin Co.

Patent as in land patents to the first person to claim the land....usually
very early (or before) in the creation of a county.
