Early 1800 Land patents
I was given this web site that may be of interest to many who have lines in the early 18oo's , MO ,IND,ILL, KY etc.
What struck me , was the number of soldiers with land patents . It gives there regiment and such . It reminds me of soldiers who were given land after the Rev. war , in lieu of pay . Many must have been in the war of 1812 or Blackhawk wars. I read that the US Gov. was low on money after that war . I would be interested in responses . take care, Bob Decker . ( I was looking for possible realted Deckers of that era, James and Joseph of Wayne co KY )
It has the actual land patent for downloading or printing.
