For those who have copies of land patents from the BLM site, you can sent a copy and $6.00 to National Archives Trust Fund, PO Box 100793, Atlanta, GA. 30384-0793 and receive a copy of the original land patent application, which has much information such as family size, house size, acres developed, acres farmed, neighbor witness, etc. It takes about 6 weeks to receive the copy but is well worth the wait.
