Humboldt Co. Land Grants
1859-3rd Qtr

The following are patents from the general land office and include both military warrants as well as state volume patents although the year 1859 seems to continue on with solely military warrants.  This page is the 3rd quarter of 1859.  November of 1859 is massive with 100+ land records on 1 Nov, the only ones to take place in the 4th quarter.  The link under accession is working and all pdfs are available.   There is generally a bit more information on the pdfs than the index contains.

I will be inserting the residence of the cash sales or the military unit of the veteran who has sold their land to the other name on the deed.  Sometimes this is through a widow or heirs.  Please click on the link to view the actual patent.  All information is from the Bureau of Land Management, Land Patent search.  Fort Dodge is the land office of all these sales and all military warrants were for service in the War of 1812, Florida War, Seminole War, Patriot War or Creek War.   This will be an ongoing project.
