From what I know, it began with a land patent. Often times, land
speculators bought the land and then resold it. Regards, ED

Subject: Land patents vs County records
Hi all,
Does anyone have any experience with US land patent records versus
county records? Which came 1st?? I am having some discrepancies with
dates. Did the person who wanted to purchase the property go to the land
patent office in Mineral Point 1st and then the transaction was recorded
at the county level or vice versa?
Thanks,
Paul
