ASSUMPTION PARISH LAND PATENTS
Below is a listing of Assumption Parish land patents. By using the township
map to the left, and the listing below, the researcher will be able to
pinpoint the location of the patented land within a six-mile square area.
Range lines run north and south, and township lines run east and west.
For instance, if a land patent showed land in Township 13, Range 13, the
researcher simply locates the intersection of the range and township. The
six-mile square (called a township) where the range and township intersects will show the general
location of the land. In this instance the property would be located in
western Assumption Parish. Land patents were issued by the Federal government
when public lands were sold to the public. Land Offices were established
in the district handling the land transactions. They would frequently move
and close within the States as the land within their jurisdiction began
dwindling.
Land patent documents contain additional information. The primary
identification numbers are located in the upper left-hand corner of the
document, e.g. a document number, warrant number, serial number or patent
number, mining claims, etc. Beginning in July 1908 patents were identified
with a GLO Serial number, that number appears at the top or bottom of the
document. These numbers were assigned consecutively and filed numerically
at the opening and closing of the various land offices. Military Warrant
numbers are found in the body of these patents. Homestead patents have
an assigned application number. Signature and Date will reflect the President
of the United States of America in office at the time. Beginning on June
17, 1948, the authority was delegated to the Secretary of the Interior
to issue patents on public lands.
Patentee names are shown in various areas of the patent. In instances
where the patentee was not the original purchaser of the land, the patent
will state the purchaser as the Assignee, heirs, and devisees. Military
warrants will have the name, rank in service, and a regiment they were
affiliated with. These patents were issued in favor of the Officers and
Soldiers for their service in the Military, but were often assigned to
their heirs or other individuals.
Be sure to visit the U.S. Bureau of Interior's General
Land Office website, where you can obtain a copy of the original patent
from the list below. Simply click on the menu button near the top of the
page labeled "Search Land Patents." The original land patent will also
give the Section Number of the land, as well as the particular division
of the section, where the land was located.
