Humboldt Co. Land Grants
1856

The following are patents from the general land office and include both military warrants as well as state volume patents.  The first land patent in Humboldt County was Henry Williams from Albany County, NY who purchased his land 1 May 1855 in Grove Twp, near Dakota City. This page is for the year 1856 alone.  I continue to add land records from the GLO.  The link under accession brings up the land patent in pdf form.  There is generally a bit more information on the pdfs than the index contains.

I will be inserting the residence of the cash sales and 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 Des Moines is the land office of all these sales and all military warrants were for service in the War of 1812, Florida War or Creek War.   This will be an ongoing project this year.  KD *8Apr12
