Subject: NOTE: CHANGE OF URL FOR IMAGES PAGE & New Township Landowner Map
Date: Sun, 11 Jan 1998 16:01:52 -0600


My friends -

I have had to change the location for the images page, due to some
restrictions which my local ISP had on the size of individual files which
could be uploaded into individual page accounts. So, here is the NEW URL
FOR THE JACKSON PURCHASE IMAGES PAGE(please bookmark this one and delete
your bookmark on the other one):

http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygraves/temp/JPL.htm

I apologize for the confusion, but I was unaware of these ISP
restrictions(about which my ISP and I will be having a discussion
tomorrow)and I decided to move this page and its contents into an empty
directory at Rootsweb, where we should have no difficulties.

I have just uploaded another survey grid map with the landowners shown for
each quarter section(a few are missing on this one due to not finding an
initial grant for those quarter sections). This map is in Graves County,
and is of Township 3, Range 1 East, which is more or less in the central
and slightly eastern portion of the county. Some of the surnames who
received grants are: Hargis, Carter, Gifford, Haden, Camp, Pryor, Flournoy,
Grace, Luten, Hensley, Hamby, Elliott, Briant, Kimble, Smith, Gutherie,
Russell, Tolbert, Forbis, Williams, Anderson, Cravens, Ashburn, Stephens
and others.

Please remember that the word "grant", as used in our discussions of the
first grantees on these maps, does not mean that this land was given to
these settlers. They had to buy these lands at public auction, first at
Princeton and, by 1830, at Wadesboro. I'll be adding an image of a
certificate as issued by the Kentucky Land Office to our images page
sometime in the near future. Please remember, too, that if you order the
copies of the documents in the case file for these grants from the KY Land
Office, you will not see a copy of the original grant, with its red seal
and fancy borders. That actual grant was sent or given to the grantee -
what is contained in the KY Land Office is a copy of the contents of the
grant language. So, in effect, you will be receiving a "copy of a copy".

For those of you who have found an ancestor on the Calloway County map of
T1R3E - if you wish to know the date of the grant and the certificate
number, let me know, as we have those available for Calloway County ONLY.

I hope to get one more post made today on terminology - a new series.
