Humboldt Co. Land Grants
1858

The following are patents from the general land office and include both military warrants as well as state volume patents although 1858 seems to be a lean year and there are only four military warrants for the entire year.  This page is for the year 1858 alone.  I will continue to add land records from the GLO.  The link under accession brings up the land patent in pdf form.  There is generally a bit more information on the pdfs than the index contains.

I will be inserting the residence of the cash sales or the military unit of the veteran who has sold their land to the other name on the deed.  Sometimes this is through a widow or heirs.  Please click on the link to view the actual patent.  All information is from the Bureau of Land Management, Land Patent search.  Fort Des Moines is the land office of all these sales and all military warrants were for service in the War of 1812, Florida War, Seminole War, Patriot War or Creek War.   This will be an ongoing project.
