This Tract Book was reconstructed by Duke Vickrey from the General
Land Office Automated Records - Florida (Release 2).
NEIGHBORS - When searching for neighbors of an ancestor, keep
in mind that a neighbor may be located in the same Section or in an
adjacent Section. An adjacent Section may have a greatly different
description. For example, within the same Township, Section 9 is
contiguous with Sections 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 15, 16, and 17. And Sections
which border another Township or Range, are contiguous with sections in
that other Township or Range. For example, Section 4 of T2N R1E borders
Sections 33 of T3N R1E and is contiguous with Sections 32 and 34 of that
other Township. Reference to a map is useful when using a Tract Book.
PARTS OF SECTIONS - Grants were typically made in quadrants of
a Section (e.g., NW quarter of Section 1), and frequently in quadrants
of a quadrant (e.g., NW quarter of the NW quarter of Section 1). Where
Sections were of an unusual shape or size or were to be divided into
small parcels for a town, the part of the Section in the grant may be
indicated by Lot number. Where no quadrants or lot numbers are shown,
the grant was for the entire section.
MULTIPLE ENTRIES - A single grant frequently contained
combinations of quadrants, and if difficult to express in one simple
statement, are included in the Reconstructed Tract Book as multiple
entries. If the multiple entries have the same patent certificate number
and signature date, they are part of one grant. Multiple entries which
form one grant may be spread over more than one Section.
SIGNATURE DATE - The signature date indicated in the
Reconstructed Tract Book is the date on the patent certificate for the
grant. Your ancestor would have applied for the grant some time in
advance, and years in advance in the case of Homestead grants.

EXPLANATION of the entries:
The entries in this Reconstructed Tract Book are arranged first by
Range, then by Township, then by Section. To facilitate browsing an area
continuously from north to south, Townships are arranged in their
position from north to south, rather than by the traditional numerical
order. The following information is provided:
Col. 1 - Quadrant of Section or Lot number granted
Col. 2 - Section number
Col. 3 - Township number
Col. 4 - Range number
Col. 5 - Last name of grantee
Col. 6 - First name of grantee
Col. 7 - Middle initial of grantee, if given
Col. 8 - Patent certificate number for grant
Col. 9 - Type of grant, C for cash entry sale and H for homestead
Col. 10 - Signature date on patent certificate
