Bill and All, I think you mean Alvie L. Davidson, FLORIDA LAND: RECORDS OF THE TALLAHASSEE AND NEWNANSVILLE GENERAL LAND OFFICE, 1825-1892 (pub Heritage Books, 1989). It's available in a number of public libraries, including the FSU Libraries, The State Library of FL, Miami-Dade, Tampa, Jacksonville, etc. (and my house, if all else fails). Useful volume! --Brian Michaels ******************************************* Bill Brooks wrote: > > I have some that I copied out of a book at our Carlsbad Library here in > California, we have a very good Genealogical collection here that see a > lot of use.
