The new Land Office databases are located in the Patent Series pages of the Kentucky Secretary of State'e website at http://sos.ky.gov/land Secretary of State Trey Grayson continues to expand the records for our state. In the last few days I have found a John Wilhite, Joshua Stapp, William Booth etc. There are numerous choices and you have to play around a little to find what you need. The site also links to the "Jackson Purchase Locator" , West of Tennessee River Non-Military Patents, Rev. War and Treasury Warrants. You get a copy of the real thing. Ex: On John Wilhite's it had how many acres, how much was paid, the No. of the Warrant, the front of a certificate, the person that recorded and when, page numbers, where the property is near, the County Fayette, signed by P. c Henry and mentions Patrick Henry Esquire was the Gov. of the Commonwealth of Virginia. There is a difference in the date of survey, the purchase and the date it was recorded. The surveyor drew a map. It was near another Wilhoite's land that begins with an A and I can not read. No pun intended I imagine the trees named are gone. All I have to do is find out which John Wilhite.
