I have had a request to repost this: Jackie THOMAS WOOD All Counties searched for Thomas surname at the Bureau of Land Management Site http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/asp/queryMS.asp All names given below are given names of Thomas's only in the state of MS. Included are ALL Thomas's on file with the BLM for MS. 1st column is the county arranged alphabetically, followed by given names of any Thomas's that have filed for a land patent in that county, followed by the signature date on the document. Multiple dates mean multiple signature dates on file for that given name, in that county. I already have a copy of Daniels Land Patent in Mo with his signature.
