Land Office register of petitions and correspondence related to escheated lands
Series Number
A0330
Summary
Laws of 1890, Chapter 279 recognized the persisting legal interest in escheated real property of any person who could have inherited ("succeeded by devise") the property except for the fact of "his alienage (non-citizenship) or a legal incapacity to take or convey the property so escheated." The exact purpose for which this volume was used is unclear, but it very possibly documents communications between the Commissioners of the Land Office and parties with interest in real property escheated to the state.
