Spanish and British Land Grants in Mississippi Territory, 1750-1784. Three Parts in One. Originally Published as Monographs 5-7, Selections from the a (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780806352411)

The work at hand, which derives from "Public Lands" and "Claims" records found in "The American State Papers" consists of British and Spanish land grants or patents made to Americans and subsequently recorded in the Register's Office for the Mississippi Territory. Each record gives the name of the original grantee, the present claimant, date of the grant, patent or commissioner's certificate, acreage, location of the grant, evidence of grant fulfillment, and remarks. Not every record comes with embellishments; however, those that do, provide evidence concerning the age of the grantee, date of original survey, names of relatives, and/or witnesses. Researchers on the trail of 18th-century ancestors in the American southeast will encounter over 1,000 in this work; however, they must consult the name index at the end of each of Mr. Smith's three original booklets in order to find them.
