1853-1859
This is the start of the Original Entrees index
of US Lands in Pottawattamie Co., Iowa, 1853-1859. LDS microfilm
#1468498. The original records are found in the Pottawattamie
County Courthouse, Council Bluffs, Iowa.
Recordings of first purchases of public lands, showing date and amount
of purchase, number of acres, price per acre, location and legal
description, date and to whom patented, and reference to deed records.
Entered by section, township, and range numbers."
Notes: Not all of the above data is included
here. "To Whom Patented" is the same as "Purchaser" in every case. Land
description has not been included because of poor hand writing on many
of the numbers. |
