The land records in Kentucky until 1792 (statehood) were Virginia Records. LDS Library has 11 survey books on film of all these "Virginia Surveys in the District of Kentucky". The margin notes on these old survey books give the date land grant was issued and grant number. I use these constantly, it seems. These survey books, and an index, are on 6 reels of 35 mm film. My LDS Center is now closed for the holidays, but will be glad to furnish those film numbers; they are on www.familysearch.org "Library", Search Library Catelog, then click on "place" search and fill in as explained in previous post. There is also an extract of the "Land Commissioners' Book", listing all names and places when these "entries" were first made; this extract is in an issue of Kentucky Historical Society Register, also on microfilm, one reel. Many public libraries have books written about the same Land Commissioners' Books. Not all land entries and surveys made it to "grant" status; entries were not all surveyed; many entries were "assigned" (sold) to others before surveyed and granted. One man's "entry" might bear another's survey and grant, or any combination of the three. It took an entry, survey AND GRANT to get a patent on the land. Very confusing to the original settlers, many of whom never received title to their land.
