Once the patent was issued, the land became private property and was then sold with a deed. The townships, the six-mile-square land blocks which were the original divisions of land from the federal land grants, were then divided into 36 one-mile squares. The township numbering was the north-south numbering, starting from the center line. The range numbering was the east-west numbering, starting from the center line. The section is the one-mile-square portion (approximately 640 acres) of a township. That was was also generally divided into 36 equal squares (each of which might be divided another 36 times).

This database is a collection of over 2300 such privately-held documents as deeds, sales receipts, court dockets, and manuscripts dating back to the early 18th Century. Each record provides descriptive information from the original document including type of document, individuals involved, location, and year. In some cases these documents are the only surviving records of particular individuals, making this an invaluable collection. Researchers who locate a document relating to their own family line may purchase the original or a high-quality reproduction by clicking on the "Order document" link at the bottom of the record.
