om the History of Douglas County, Illinois p.
316 "A proposed city called "Columbus" was
regularly laid out in February 1841 on the land
of James H. HICKS, on the west side of the east
half of the NE quarter of Section 35, T15 north
of Range 10 east and contained about 40 acres on
the land now owned by Seidenstricker....The town
was surveyed by S. Sconce, Coles County Surveyor
for Hicks who does not appear to have had any
deed to the land...."

http//www.glorecords.blm.gov/FAQ.asp26 Q.
What's a land patent? A. Land patents document
the transfer of land ownership from the federal
government to individuals. Our land patent
records include the information recorded when
ownership was transferred. Q. What are public
lands? A. The term public land means any lands
and interest which title is still vested in the
Federal Government. The Secretary of the Interior
through the BLM administers those lands within
the several states. Q. Where are the Public
Land States? A. Those states created out of the
public domain are the lands now embraced in the
States of Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas,
California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan,
Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana,
Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio,
Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington,
Wisconsin, and Wyoming. Q. What are vacant
public lands? A. These are public domain lands
that have never left Federal ownership and have
not been reserved, withdrawn, dedicated or set
aside for a certain purpose. These lands are
mostly in the 11 Western states (LINK FOR STATE
OFFICE PAGE) although there are scattered parcels
throughout each of the eastern public lands
States. The Eastern States field offices in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Jackson, Mississippi
have information about lands that may be
available for sale. Q. Why are there no
public lands in the thirteen colonies and other
states in the east? A. In the very early years
of the United States, the Congress of the
Confederation declared it would sell or grant the
unclaimed lands in "the West" (given up by the
States to the United States) for the common
benefit of the United States. The States gave up
their claims to what is now Alabama, Michigan,
part of Minnesota, Mississippi, Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio, and Wisconsin. The United States
could then sell this unclaimed land to raise
money for the Treasury. In turn, the United
States gave up its claims to any land within the
boundaries of the Colonies.
47
http//www.glorecords.blm.gov/FAQ.asp26 Q. How
was the land sold or disposed of? A. The land
was disposed of by the authority of many acts of
Congress - sale, homesteads, military warrants
for military service, timber culture, mining,
etc. One of the primary purposes of these public
land laws was to encourage people from the East
to move West. In the early 1800's people could
buy public land for 1.25 an acre. For a time,
they could buy up to 640 acres under this law.
The sale of public land under the "Cash Act" is
no longer in effect. Several Military Warrant
Acts granted public land to soldiers instead of
pay. These acts have been repealed. The
Homestead Act of 1862, allowed people to settle
up to 160 acres of public land if they lived on
it for five years and grew crops or made
improvements. This land did not cost anything per
acre, but the settler did pay a filing fee. This
act is no longer in effect. Q. How can I get
Land Entry file information for patents? A.
Land Entry files were created when a person
claimed land under an act of Congress. They first
had to fill out an application, and sometimes
provide other information(marriage or immigration
documents), at the local General Land Office.
Other documents were also created under that
application, like receipts for any payments, or
affidavits of occupation, immigration, marriage,
and homestead application. Eastern States did not
keep these files. They are now the responsibility
of the National Archives and Records
Administration in Washington, D.C. The land
entry file information can be obtained from the
National Archives. Click here for more
information. Q. What is pre-emption? A. Some
patents have the word "Pre-emption"in the upper
left-hand corner. "Pre-emption" was a tactful way
of saying "squatter". In other words, the settler
was physically on the property before the GLO
officially sold or even surveyed the tract, and
he was thus given a pre-emptive right to acquire
the land from the United States. Q. What are
Credit Patents? A. Credit patents are similar
to Cash lands could be purchased under the Land
Law of 1800 from the General Land Office. This
credit system allowed purchasers to pay in
installments over a four-year period. A
delinquent payment or non-payment of the full
balance resulted in forfeiture to the U.S.
Because of the economic hardship Congress quickly
abandoned the credit system and through the Act
of April 24, 1820 required full payment for land
to be made at the time of purchase. These cash
patents were bound in volumes specific to a
particular state - credit patents were not, and
those credit volumes will be scanned and indexed
into our system at a later date.

Q. What's a land patent? A. Land patents
document the transfer of land ownership from the
federal government to individuals. Our land
patent records include the information recorded
when ownership was transferred. Q. What
are public lands? A. The term public land means
any lands and interest which title is still
vested in the Federal Government. The Secretary
of the Interior through the BLM administers those
lands within the several states. Q. Where
are the Public Land States? A. Those states
created out of the public domain are the lands
now embraced in the States of Alabama, Alaska,
Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida,
Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,
Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi,
Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico,
North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South
Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin, and
Wyoming. Q. What are vacant public lands?
A. These are public domain lands that have
never left Federal ownership and have not been
reserved, withdrawn, dedicated or set aside for a
certain purpose. These lands are mostly in the 11
Western states (LINK FOR STATE OFFICE PAGE)
although there are scattered parcels throughout
each of the eastern public lands States. The
Eastern States field offices in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin and Jackson, Mississippi have
information about lands that may be available for
sale. Q. Why are there no public lands in
the thirteen colonies and other states in the
east? A. In the very early years of the United
States, the Congress of the Confederation
declared it would sell or grant the unclaimed
lands in "the West" (given up by the States to
the United States) for the common benefit of the
United States. The States gave up their claims to
what is now Alabama, Michigan, part of Minnesota,
Mississippi, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and
Wisconsin. The United States could then sell this
unclaimed land to raise money for the Treasury.
In turn, the United States gave up its claims to
any land within the boundaries of the Colonies.
Q. How was the land sold or disposed of?
A. The land was disposed of by the authority of
many acts of Congress - sale, homesteads,
military warrants for military service, timber
culture, mining, etc. One of the primary purposes
of these public land laws was to encourage people
from the East to move West. In the early 1800's
people could buy public land for 1.25 an acre.
For a time, they could buy up to 640 acres under
this law. The sale of public land under the "Cash
Act" is no longer in effect. Several Military
Warrant Acts granted public land to soldiers
instead of pay. These acts have been repealed.
The Homestead Act of 1862, allowed people to
settle up to 160 acres of public land if they
lived on it for five years and grew crops or made
improvements. This land did not cost anything per
acre, but the settler did pay a filing fee. This
act is no longer in effect. Q. What other
land records does BLM maintain? A. This office
maintains the original survey plats and field
notes for eight of the Eastern public land states
(AL, AR, FL, LA, MI, MN, MS, WI). The duplicate
original survey plats and field notes are also
housed in this office for sixteen of the Western
public land states (AZ, AK, CA, CO, ND, SD, ID,
MT, NE, NV, NM, OK, OR, UT, WA, WY). NOTE
Oklahoma survey plats and field notes are
Originals. For information please see the
specific BLM State Office website and link to
their Cadastral Survey web page. The National
Archives and Records Administration maintains the
original survey plats and field notes for IL, IN,
IA, KS, MO and OH. If you are searching for a
Western land patent issued prior to July 1, 1908,
please contact the specific BLM State office for
information. Q. How can I get Land Entry
file information for patents? A. Land Entry
files were created when a person claimed land
under an act of Congress. They first had to fill
out an application, and sometimes provide other
information(marriage or immigration documents),
at the local General Land Office. Other documents
were also created under that application, like
receipts for any payments, or affidavits of
occupation, immigration, marriage, and homestead
application. Eastern States did not keep these
files. They are now the responsibility of the
National Archives and Records Administration in
Washington, D.C. The land entry file
information can be obtained from the National
Archives. Click here for more information.
Q. Why is there sometimes a long time period
between purchase date and signature date? A.
Due to the tremendous amount of land sold in the
1800's, the General Land Office experienced quite
a backlog in the middle part of the 19th century.
It was not unusual for several years to pass
between the time an individual purchased land
from the local land office and the time a patent
for that tract was finally signed by the GLO in
Washington, D.C. Q. What is pre-emption?
A. Some patents have the word "Pre-emption"in
the upper left-hand corner. "Pre-emption" was a
tactful way of saying "squatter". In other words,
the settler was physically on the property before
the GLO officially sold or even surveyed the
tract, and he was thus given a pre-emptive right
to acquire the land from the United States.
Q. What is the Mississippi/Alabama and
Florida/Alabama "Crossover"? A. The St.
Stephens Meridian and Huntsville Meridian surveys
cross into both Mississippi and Alabama, creating
situations where the land offices in St. Stephens
and Huntsville, Alabama and in Columbus,
Mississippi sold lands in both states. We suggest
that anyone researching that area take a look at
the databases for both states. The original
state line between Alabama and Florida did not
close against the Tallahassee Meridian survey
(which covered all of Florida), but rather
against the earlier St. Stephens Meridian survey
in south Alabama. The state line was later
resurveyed, creating a situation where some
Tallahassee Meridian lands fell across the border
into Alabama. We suggest that anyone researching
that area take a look at the databases for both
states. Q. What about revolutionary war
military bounty warrants? A. The only state we
have Revolutionary War-era military bounty
warrants for is Ohio (mostly in the Virginia
Military District), and even those records for
the most part have only a survey number and
warrant number on them. A few were issued for
rectangularly surveyed sections of land, but most
were for metes and bounds surveys in the Virginia
Military District. Q. Why do some Indiana
land records say the land is in Ohio? A. The
Cincinnati land office issued several thousand
patents for lands in southeastern Indiana within
what was called "the Gore" - a roughly
triangular-shaped area bounded by the
Ohio-Indiana border, the Greenville Treaty line
and the Ohio River. These Indiana records have
been scanned and indexed as Ohio records.
Q. What about the Connecticut Western Reserve
Lands? A. All of northeastern Ohio was part of
the Connecticut Western Reserve, which was set
aside to satisfy military bounty warrants for
Revolutionary War veterans from that state. The
General Land Office didn't have anything to do
with land records for that area of Ohio. The
following addresses may be of help to you for
information on the Connecticut Western Reserve
Connecticut State Library 231 Capitol
Street Hartford, CT 06115 Western Reserve
Historical Society 10825 East Boulevard,
University Circle Cleveland, OH 44106 (216)
721-5722 Q. What are Credit Patents? A.
Credit patents are similar to Cash lands could
be purchased under the Land Law of 1800 from the
General Land Office. This credit system allowed
purchasers to pay in installments over a
four-year period. A delinquent payment or
non-payment of the full balance resulted in
forfeiture to the U.S. Because of the economic
hardship Congress quickly abandoned the credit
system and through the Act of April 24, 1820
required full payment for land to be made at the
time of purchase. These cash patents were bound
in volumes specific to a particular state -
credit patents were not, and those credit volumes
will be scanned and indexed into our system at a
later date. Q. Why do some Ohio warrants
have no legal land descriptions? A. In the late
1790's and early 1800's, several dozen volumes of
Ohio military bounty warrants were issued to
Virginia veterans of the Revolutionary War. The
lands were in the Virginia Military District in
central Ohio (between the Scioto River and Little
Miami River), which was set aside to fulfill the
land requirements of these warrants. The land
descriptions on these warrants consisted of
little more than a metes and bounds survey, which
was usually tied to other metes and bounds
surveys in that area for previously issued
warrants. Just about the only data our project
team was able to capture from these warrants was
the soldier's name, warrant number, survey date,
signature date and acreage. Due to the lack of
precise information on where the land was
located, it was not possible to tie these records
to a specific land description or to a county
within the Virginia Military District. We
recommend you contact the Ohio Historical Society
State Archives once you have a specific warrant
number. They may be able to help you obtain a
more precise location of the land.
