The blue areas on the map below represent land grants and some land sales
issued on Line Creek from 1845 to 1850. Click on the blue areas for information
about the grants; a new browser window will appear, please close it before
selecting another grant. Grants were patented to the person who had the survey
made unless noted otherwise.
There are many more grants for this time period owing mainly to the fact the
county gained control of the issuing the grants. When funds were needed for
county or town projects (building a school, improving a road, etc.), the county
would sell land to raise the money. There are at least two grants during this
period on Line Creek that were surveyed for the "Trustees of
Somerset." |
