When did the requirement for filing applicant’s affidavits and surveyor’s affidavits begin?
Chapter 136, Section 4, of the “Acts of the Kentucky General Assembly”, approved February 2, 1893, and later codified as KRS 56.240, states: “Before the surveyor of any county in this Commonwealth shall permit the entry of any land for the purpose of obtaining a patent thereon, he shall require the party desiring such entry and survey made, to file with him an affidavit to the effect that said land or lands have not, to the applicant’s knowledge or belief, been previously entered, surveyed or patented, in whole or in part, and that the same are vacant and unappropriated lands. And said surveyor shall forward to the Register of the Land Office, with his plat and certificate of said lands, his own affidavit to the effect that the same have not, to the affiant’s knowledge or belief, been theretofore, in whole or in part, entered or surveyed for patent or patented.
