    1. [SCKY] LAND GRANTS
    2. Sandi Gorin
    3. While I had about 2 weeks respite from posting, I finished the 2nd in the series of Land Grant books. This new one is formatted like the one on Barren County. The write-up is below. Land Grants 1815 through the 1920's for Allen, Hart, Metcalfe and Monroe Counties. A listing of the land grants for these counties, correcting errors found on various sites and from Jillson's original transcription. Shows name, total acreage, the date land surveyed, book where recorded and the nearest waterway. Many transcription errors can be found in other listings which I have attempted to correct - in spelling of names and names of the waterways primarily. Each of these counties have a close connection and one will sometimes find individuals with grants in more than one county. 103 pages which includes not only the listing of grants, but the waterways found in each county, a detailed explanation of the process of land grants, step by step. Also includes an in-depth list of the terms used in the old land grants and deeds.
