    Florida - St. Johns County
    ARMED OCCUPATION ACT: Those desiring land had to apply to the Register of the Land Office for a permit to settle on 160 acres on the south side of a line running roughly from Palatka to Gainsville. They had to apply before August of 1843 as this act was only to be in effect for one year. Applicants had to be the head of a family or a single person over the age of eighteen. They were required to be a resident of Florida and their requested land could not be within two miles of any military post. They had to be capable of bearing arms, to clear, enclose and cultivate at least five of their acres and to erect a house fit for habitation and to live there for five years. ....Because of these problems the 1850 Census missed a number of people, and found others in places of refuge. So to supplement the 1850 census for the East Coast of Florida this listing of permits is helpful for the researcher. These 368 permits are listed in a letter from Thomas H. Blake, Commissioner of the General Land Office to the U. S. House of Representatives. This is listed as Document No. 70, 28th Congress, 1st Session.

    Illinois - Public Land Purchase Records
    Search the Illinois Public Land Purchase Database. Land sales from the Illinois public domain were recorded by a variety of persons employed by the federal, state or local governments. The records in this database were transferred to the Illinois State Archives and detail the sale of over 54,000 square miles of public land. Each entry includes the purchaser's name, purchase date, number of acres, price per acre, and in some cases the purchaser's sex and residence. Researchers will find information regarding over 538,000 land sales from the 19th Century. For those seeking ancestors from Illinois, this can be an extremely helpful source of information. Abbreviations include: FD = Federal; FR = Fractional; GLD = Gold; L = Lot; AD = Addition; TN = Town. Information provided is: Name; Type; Section; Township; Range; Meridian; Acres; Price; Total; Date; Reside; Volume; Page; ID; Corr-Tag

    To receive copies of a record from the Field General Land Office registers, your request must provide the complete information found in the database entry. The charge for photocopies of original land records is $2.00 per page. As a result of limitations on research time, Archives staff can photocopy no more than 2 entries per request. Researchers should know, however, that the registers contain no additional information with two exceptions. When the word "warrant" appears in the column headed "Total Price," the purchaser used military bounty land warrants instead of cash for payment. For the 1817-1819 warrants, the registers also include warrant number and military corps or regiment in which the veteran served. For the 1847-1877 warrants, the register provides warrant certificate number and date, and the name of the original recipient of the warrant, possibly someone other than the purchaser. Recipients of military bounty land warrants often sold them, and in such cases the names of purchaser and original recipient will be different. When the name of a state other than Illinois is found in the column headed "County or State of Purchaser," a city or township may also be given. The Archives no longer bills for photocopies. Prepaid $5.00 vouchers, each containing ten $.50 credits, must be purchased and accompany any research request for a land sale record. If you are interested in obtaining a photocopy, send your request and check or money order for the voucher by mail. Archives staff will punch the voucher for the appropriate amount, returning it with the copy. The voucher, valid for two years after purchase, can be used for subsequent requests. The Archives also accepts Visa, MasterCard and Discover/Novus credit cards by mail, telephone or fax in payment for the voucher. Send your request to: Illinois State Archives, Reference Unit, Margaret Cross Norton Building, Capitol Complex, Springfield, Illinois 62756 Telephone: (217) 782-3556 Fax: (217) 524-3930 For inquiries other than requests for photocopies, please feel free to contact us by e-mail: jreinhardt@ilsos.net.

    Virginia - Hampshire County
    In its list of land grants in Hampshire County, VA, "Sims Index to Land Grants in West Virginia" shows the following entry:

    It was surveyed in 1794 and the grant was issued in 1796. The record of the survey conducted by John Mitchell Jr. reads in part, "December 2nd, 1794. By virtue of part of a land office Treasury Warrant No. 415 dated April 28th, 1794, and entered August 6th, 1794, I have surveyed for William Peepyat assignee of William Fox a tract of land in Hampshire County on the middle ridge adjoining Thomas Lazenby on the drains of Mill Creek. . . ."
    This William Peepyat survey document was witnessed by Cornelius Peepyat and Wm. Lazenby. A summary and scanned images of the survey record can be viewed at the following Web pages: http://eagle.vsla.edu/cgi-bin/lonn.gateway?bib=0145-03160&conf=010000

    The record of the 1796 grant issued to William Peepyat by Robert Brooke, Esquire, Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia, can be viewed at the following Web page: 1796 grant
    William Peepyat's survey is mentioned again in an adjoining 1795 survey and 1799 land grant issued to Frederick Finks (Fink).

    Immediately following the Finks survey (on page 499) is the record for a 1795 survey for William Fox, presumably the same man who had assigned William Peepyat his Mill Creek tract.
