The work at hand which derives from Public Lands and Claims records found in The American State Papers consists of British and Spanish land grants or patents made to Americans and subsequently recorded in the Register's Office for the Mississippi Territory. Each record gives the name of the original grantee the present claimant date of the grant patent or commissioner's certificate acreage location of the grant evidence of grant fulfillment and remarks. Not every record comes with embellishments; however those that do provide evidence concerning the age of the grantee date of original survey names of relatives and/or witnesses. Researchers on the trail of 18th-century ancestors in the American southeast will encounter over 1000 in this work; however they must consult the name index at the end of each of Mr. Smith's three original booklets in order to find them.
