This site is for searching land patents in the USA. Land patents are records of
land sales in the early days of the country. Most of the sales are between the
dates of 1810 and 1890. Patentees are the land property purchasers, and Warrentees
are land property sellers. In most cases the US government was the Warrentee, and
in those cases no Warrentee is listed.
This database consists of 11,116,000 land patents. Most of the land patent sales on this
site are in states west of Ohio. The distribution of records by state are as follows:
