Sandi or anyone: Can anyone explain the application of the term "assignee" as used in VA and KY land grant records and deeds. I find it used often when describing land acquired by war veterans, usually Rev War. It appears it can be used over and over on the same land, A assigns to B, B assigns to C, etc. Also worded, A assignee of B, etc. Here are a couple of samples. From a VA document: In Feb of 1780 five Bounty Land Warrants for 50 acres (each) were issued to Robert Goode, assignee of Freeman Lewelling, John Gaulding, Charles Howell, and James Foster, privates under Col. William Byrd. Charles Howall proved he served two campaigns, Pr. Edward Co. Also, a Bounty Land Warrant for 50 acres was issued to Robert Goode, assignee of Jeremiah Penix, heir at law of his brother, Edward Penix, dec'd, who was a private under Col. William Byrd. Jeremiah Penix died soon after he returned home and assigned the right to Robert Goode. From a KY deed: Granted to Peter Simmons, assignee of Samuel Goode, assignee of William Reading, assignee of Curtis Hack, by Commonwealth of KY, Chas Scott Gov, Cert No 3071, granted in 1798, encouraging relief to settlers, etc. Thanks, Don Page
