Family Archives CD #650
This data set contains the images of
four volumes of Kentucky land records from the Genealogical Publishing Company.
Valued at over $170 in print, the volumes collectively list approximately
100,000 individuals. Since many individuals are listed more than once in these
volumes, if you find an ancestor listed here, you could gain a great deal of
information about his land holdings.
Included:
The Kentucky Land Grants: A Systematic Index to All of the Land Grants
Recorded in the State Land Office at Frankfort, Kentucky, 1782-1924
Usually the first book used by anyone researching Kentucky ancestors, this
standard two-volume reference work contains abstracts of approximately 150,000
Kentucky land grants. Arranged alphabetically according to the type of grant, it
provides the full name of the grantee, number of acres, date of survey, name of
county, watercourse, and the volume and page number of the original entry.
Early Kentucky Landholders, 1787-1811
This volume lists 17,000 landholders, individuals who claimed land but did not
necessarily occupy land, whose names appeared in the annual tax lists for
Lincoln County, Kentucky, between 1787 and 1811. Information includes the date
of the tax list, the number of the tax book, the page number of the original
entry, the amount of acreage, the nearest watercourse, and the name of the prior
assignee.
A Calendar of the Warrants for Land in Kentucky, Granted for Service in the
French and Indian War
This is a complete list of the land surveys made in Kentucky, at the time still
a part of the Virginia Colony, on behalf of men who fought in the French and
Indian War. Each entry gives the name of the soldier, his rank, acreage, date of
the survey, and various notes by the surveyor indicating where the land was
situated and, when available, to whom it was subsequently assigned.
Old Kentucky Entries and Deeds: A Complete Index to All of the Earliest Land
Entries, Military Warrants, Deeds and Wills of the Commonwealth of Kentucky
For a grantee listed in this index, you can learn the number of acres granted,
dates, locations, and references to the pages in the original records (held in
the Land Office at Frankfort, Kentucky). The 45,000+ entries are concentrated in
Fayette, Lincoln, and Jefferson Counties. The volume also includes information
on military warrants (1782-1793), Court of Appeals deeds-grantees (1783-1846),
grantors (1783-1846), wills (1769-1850), and attorneys (1781-1853).
