Do other Kentucky Land Office websites relate to the Virginia & Old Kentucky Patent Series?
Yes. For example, if you have found a patent authorized by a Preemption Warrant and the tract was in Lincoln County, be sure to check the “Lincoln Entries” and the “Certificates of Settlement & Preemption Warrants” databases for additional information and images. Check the “Revolutionary War Warrants Database” or the “Treasury Warrants Database” if you find a patent authorized by those types of warrants. To determine a location, access the online “Gazetteer”; to research the requirements for the Act for Poor Persons, check the “Legislation” portion of the Land Office Reference Library. To see maps of early Kentucky, check the online “Maps” in the Reference Library. To determine if future generations of specific surnames patented land in Kentucky (after 1835 to current date), check the “County Court Orders Database”. Click “Advanced Search” and enter the surname in the Grantee or Survey Name search. You can refine the search by county, watercourse, grant year, survey year, etc.
