A Treasury Warrant is purchased. Land Grants, typically, identify the type warrant. If for military service/bounty land it is a Military Warrant. A couple of the adjacent tracts were grants based on Settlement Certificates or Preemption Certificates. Meaning they were on the land before it was open for settlement/granting. When Virginia allowed granting, the "settler" proved before a commission for settling land claims the date he was on the land he claimed and was awarded certificates of settlement. As seen with "VA Land Office Treasury Warrant # 9582 Adam Hope assignee of Christian Wireman, who was assignee of Thomas Aikin, who was assignee of Joshua Spiers" - Joshua Spiers paid for the warrant based on the acreage he wanted; then, transferred with consideration, usually not specified, to Thomas Aikin and so on. Land was a speculative venture!!! I did not add up the acres in the deeds abstracted in the earlier posting. If Adam Hope did not sell all of the acreage before he died, his heirs and or administrator would have sold it, if Hope had paid the land taxes and still owned it. With a family member often the administrator, this is great generation connecting evidence. One way to tell if he lived on it is to consult the personal property and land tax books which began in 1782. These are separate tax books in Virginia. If he lived on the property he is listed on both. If an absentee owner, he is listed only on the land tax book. Films for the needed time period for Harrison Co., WV are available on loan at your nearest Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints Family History Center. The Familysearch catalog identifies the personal property tax as tithes. FYI Virginia as well as early Kentucky land granting process: Warrant - Right to a specified acreage Entry - Informing the local surveyor how much and were the land is to be located. Survey - Requested land is surveyed with the survey sent to Land Office in Richmond, VA . After June 1792 KY surveys sent to the KY Land office. Grant - Signed by the governor of the state; returned to the surveyor's office; grant delivered to the grantee. Phyllis Vannoy Spiker

24 June 1788 ... Adam Hope was granted 1575 acres on a VA Land Office Treasury Warrant # 9582 assignee of Christian Wireman, who was assignee of Thomas Aikin, who was assignee of Joshua Spiers. ... on waters of Cunningham Creek a branch of Bingarman Creek and branch of Jones Run a branch of Ten Mile Creek in Harrison Co., VA Names in the survey calls: Peter Cornelison, Benjamin Shinn & Joshua Jackson. Possibly this is near today's Shinnston named for the Chinn family of NJ. 24 June 1788 ... Adam Hope was granted 50 acres on Ten Mile Creek adj. his own land. [Wireman, Aikin & Spiers signatures should be on the warrant transferring/assigning their right to the warrant. If a friend or relative witnessed the transfer to Hope that signature could be of interest to Adam Hope researchers. The original survey and warrant were to be returned to the Virginia Land Office with the last tract surveyed on the warrant.

That was so nice of you!  Thanks so much.  Were they awarded land grants in gratitude for military service? We know Adam Hope is buried in NJ so he evidently didn't move to VA.  Thanks again.   Harry and Sharon Moore Colquhoun Yardville, NJ Our family website http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hscc/ ________________________________ From: "PSpiker27@aol.com" <PSpiker27@aol.com> To: njhunter@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, December 2, 2011 6:45 PM Subject: Re: [NJHUNTER] West Va connection to early 1800s Hunterdon? 24 June 1788 ...

Coroner's Inquests used kept at the Hunterdon County Surrogate's Court, in the Justice Building in Flemington, NJ. If you live too far away to visit, it would be worthwhile to call or write for help in getting a copy. No one has made transcripts of the coroners' reports. Many of the old records from the Surrogate's Court and County Clerk's Office have been moved to the County Archives at the Route 12 county complex. But I would check with the Surrogate first.

I have a family who went to Hampshire County (near Harrison County) in present day West Virginia in 1790. (WV was created during the Civil War.) I have not researched the family. Everything I have about them is gleaned from others. Phillip KUHL (son of Johann Paul KUHL & Eva Maria KAES, born 19 Sep 1728 in Hunterdon Co) married Catharine Eva HUMMER in Apr 1755 in Kingwood Twp. Catharine (born 17 May 1737 Somerset Co) daughter of Herbert/Harbert HUMMER & Anna Eva KOLSCHER. Phillip died 25 Mar 1795 and Catharine died 19 Apr 1818, both in Hampshire Co. At least some of their children went with them to Hampshire Co. > Date: Thu, 1 Dec 2011 20:14:42 -0800 (PST) > From: john newman <johnfnewman@yahoo.com> > > I had someone forward to me information on Adam Hope, 1804 deeds in > Harrison County, West Virginia. ?It mentions that he is from Hunterdon > and using Daniel Latourette of Amwell as his attorney. ?The person who > gave this to me, also said he saw the names Cornelius Carhart and > Abraham Bonnell. > > Any one have any similar connections to Harrison County? -- Marshall Lake -- mlake@mlake.net -- http://www.mlake.net

The deeds are granting his (Adam Hope's Property to others). I have a copy of one page of a book that summarizes the various deed transactions. Here are the 3 involving my ancestor: 11 February 1804, Page 395.  Adam Hope, by Daniel La Tourrette, his attorney, of New Jersey to Rhodom E. Rogers, of Harrison Co., Virginia, for $100, 131.25 acres... Jones Run, a branch of Ten Mile Creek... corner to John Lyons.  Signed Adam Hope, by Daniel La Tourrette, Wit: Benjamin Wilson, James Myers and Daniel Davisson.  Recorded February 1804. 7 January 1804, Page 397.  Adam Hope of Bethlehem Twp, Hunterdon Co., New Jersey power of attorney to Daniel La Tourrette, of Amwell Twp., Hunterdon Co., New Jersey.  Signed Adam Hope, Wit: James W. Hope and Lydia D. Hope, NJ  JP: John Wilson.  Recorded February 1804. * Lydia D. and James W. Hope are Adam Hope's two youngest children, and I think the only two that would have been living home at the time (I believe both getting married after 1804). 11 February 1804, Page 398.  Adam Hope, by his attorney Daniel La Tourrette, of  Hunterdon Co., New Jersey to John Lyons, of Harrison Co., Virginia, for $100, 131.25 acres ... Jones Run, corner to Alexander Holden.  Signed Adam Hope, by Daniel La Tourrette, Wit: Benjamin Wilson, Jr., J. Myers and Daniel Davisson.  Recorded February 1804. 11 February 1804, Page 399.  Ditto to Alexander Holden, of Harrison Co., Virginia, for $60.00, 100 acres ... Jones Run ... corner to John Lyons. Signed: same, Wit: same.  Recorded February 1804. A quote from the person who sent this information to me: These are from Deed Book 5 in Harrison County.  They mention his sale of his land,  but I never found any reference to him purchasing land.  He may have purchased his land prior to 1784 when Harrison County was formed from Monongalia County (but there would be no records as the Monongalia County courthouse burned in 1796). ________________________________ From: Sharon and Harry <thistledewus@yahoo.com> To: john newman <johnfnewman@yahoo.com>; "njhunter@rootsweb.com" <njhunter@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, December 2, 2011 7:58 AM Subject: Re: [NJHUNTER] West Va connection to early 1800s Hunterdon?

If you all have been following the slowly updated Hunterdon Republican Newspaper, you will note that during the latter part of the 1800s, the Hunterdon County Collector had to post a bond of $100,000 which was guaranteed not by a bond company, but by as many of his wealthy friends as he could get to sign on as sureties!

Even in early days, officials were required to post a bond. Here is what a more recent definition states, per http://www.integritybonds.com/deputy_sheriff_bond.php Deputy Sheriff Bond This deputy sheriff bond is obtained by the deputy sheriff before taking discharge of his duty. The deputy sheriff before taking the discharge of his duty, he has to enter into a bond with sufficient surety, to be approved by the sheriff of the county, conditioned for the faithful performance of his duties and also for the payment to the county and to any person of all such damages as they or any of them may sustain by reason of his fraudulent or dishonesty act. The bond form shall be approved by the county attorney and shall be filed with and kept by the clerk of court for the county. The sheriff is answerable for neglect of his duty or misconduct in office of any deputy. This deputy sheriff bond will make the deputy to perform his obligation in a proper way. The deputy sheriff has to discharge his duties as per the law, act and regulation of the jurisdiction. If any failure in his duties, he his made responsible for the act and the damages caused by him.
