How does this information relate to the Kentucky Historical publications “The Master Index: Virginia Surveys & Grants” and “Index to Old Kentucky Surveys & Grants and Tellico Surveys & Grants”?
The Historical Society publications index patents by names of persons for whom the survey was made. In the back of the “Master Index: Virginia Surveys & Grants”, researchers will find a cross-index identifying the Grantee’s name if the name varies from the Survey name. A separate grantee index is available for the “Index to Old Kentucky Surveys and Grants and Tellico Surveys & Grants.” As Jillson’s book lists grantees only, researchers will see additional names not listed in Jillson’s publication by accessing the Kentucky Historical Society publications. Researchers can then access the image file on this website by searching by patent number (identified as “Survey Number” in the Historical Society publications.) Note: Historical Society Patent Number assignments with “#” have been adjusted. For example VA 4766#1 in the “Master Index” is VA 4766.1 on our website. Contact the Kentucky Historical Society, P.O.
