Geri Weir told me about the website for BLM the land management site, www.glorecords.blm.gov/ I found Miles Madison filed a land patent in New Orleans. The issue date is Jan. 7, 1897. I couldn't get the whole image to print out. It cut some of it off. I hope I can figure out how to get it all. I have the form to order Land Patents. I just had the Ark. Land patents. Candace Maybe you can find some more names.
