Thanks, Tony and William. I have not seen some of what you sent. There are a couple of new websites now, that have many goodies. This is probably old news, but first there is directline. http://www.directlinesoftware.com/ This lists many of the early grants and patents. It is a paid service, but you can see much of it for free. Click on the deed data pool, then click on the index for the appropriate county. You will see the brief descriptive of the land boundaries. And you may be surprised at what county the patent is listed under. The county boundaries back then were constantly changing. I have not subscribed but you can actually plot the location of the patent. (If you buy their software, of course.) I am a computer klutz, so I don't know how to download the full patents, yet. If anyone has bought this software, let me know if it is worth buying, and user friendly. I barely know how to copy and paste. The second website, I'm sure you have all heard about, is footnote.com It is $57 a year or you can pay for a month, or buy individual documents. Some of the content is free. There is a lot of great stuff here, mainly about military service, regimental rosters, pension applications, bounty lands, etc.--A lot of great info about the Rev. War. But footnote is a work in progress. It is growing by leaps and bounds, but is not there yet. The competition is good for us. Maybe Ancestry will try harder. Edwin
