Land Office Patents and Grants


Recorded copies of these documents by which the Crown (between 1623 and 1774) and the Commonwealth
(from 1779) transferred new land to individual ownership; since 1975 grants have mainly taken the form of
escheats, usually for non-payment of taxes. The receive land, an individual paid a specified amount per acre
and received a warrant served as the authority by which surveyors could lay out the requested land.

After the survey was completed, both the warrant and the survey, along with any supplemental papers, were
returned to the Land Office, where after examination of the documents, the patent or grant was issued. The
original was given to the landowner, and a copy was recorded in bound registers; it is these registers that
form this series.

The recorded document identifies the person(s) receiving the land, the county in which the land was located, the
number of acres, the metes and bounds of the land and the date of issue. After 1779, the survey which was made
on the land was also recorded in bound registers. During the colonial period land could be awarded for military
service.
