This compilation for Logan County covers the earliest extant records (fall 1877 after the courthouse fire) through 1924. Nearly 10,000 marriages are listed in this wonderful book. The data are arranged in one alphabetical list, including full information with the groom's name and a cross-referece with the bride's name.

It lists names, land descriptions, school district numbers, number of acres, and value. This serves as a substitute for the missing 1890 federal census schedules. Arkansas Land Patents: Logan County
What are land patents? All of what is now Arkansas was once owned by the federal government--it is a public domain land state. People who purchased land from the federal government received documents called land patents. Land was obtained through purchase, military warrants, homesteads, scrip acts and other laws that allowed the land to be transferred out of federal hands. The paperwork generated in those sales can be very helpful to genealogists. Copies of the land patents make interesting additions to published family histories but the land entry case files are most apt to have helpful details about families or clues that help piece together information from other sources. What information is included? The county volumes of land patents list patentee's name, volume and page of the patent book, land office, document and miscellaneous document numbers, type of transaction, precise legal description, and number of acres. Introductory information describes in great detail how to get copies of the patents and land entry case files, how to use other land record sources, how to integrate the information with other sources, what is found in a typical homestead case file, where and when the Arkansas land offices operated, and a selected bibliography. County maps are also included. The time period covered by this information is earliest settlement through 30 June 1908. Information from 156,784 patent documents is included. These county volumes are based on current-day county boundaries. Arkansas Confederate Pension Applications from Johnson, Logan, Perry, Pope, Scott and Yell Counties
