Nicky, Karen, and Jean, I've been *listening* to your exchange about land records pre-1820. I have the same question as you do,Nicky. The National Archives has a place on their form for *Bounty Lands*. My request came back as not found although I know the Land was given for Revolutionary War Service. I thought my next step would be to call the Bureau of Land Management, Eastern States Office. Their address is: 7450 Boston Blvd., Springfield, VA 22153 Phone: 703-440-1700 BLM Office of Public Affairs, Department of the Interior's phone: 202-208-3435 Hopefully they can direct us to the right source. Any better suggestions, anyone? Janice
