Can anyone tell me how to go about getting info on a military land grant for someone? I know my Samuel Corl owned land in Stark Co and later in Suffield Twp. of Portage Co, but all land deed searches have come up empty. And yes, I checked <A HREF="http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/">Ohio Land Records</A>. My assumption is that he was awarded land in return for military service (lived in PA during war of 1812). Don't have exact land plot and don't have any proof he served in any military. Isn't there some way to track from a twp to a land ownership to a military award? Do I look in PA or OH? I'm pulling my hair out!
