On a land record for 1851, the land office is listed as NATCHITOCHES. Can anyone tell me what area of the state this land office would have covered? As far as I know, my line was in Claiborne, Union and Rapides parish, not Natchitoches. I suspect the land office would have been for a large area, not just one parish. Any info appreciated. Is there anywhere in the internet to find land location if I only have description from land records? I'm not very smart on this kind of stuff!!. Thanks, Jo Cox
