    3. For those interested in the Bounty Land system of land grants after the Revolutionary War, there is a book called, "Revolutionary War Bounty Land Grants, Awarded by State Governments," by Lloyd DeWitt Bockstruck, 1996. It was published by the Genealogical Publishing Co., in Baltimore, MD The introduction of the book explains state by state what bounty land was given and some states, such as Georgia, how much bounty land was given by rank. For example a private in the Georgia Line received 230 acres. Also, explains where the bounty was that was given to the patriots. The majority of the book is a listing of patriots who received land grants from the various state government. Alice
