Burton Ray Knotts has gathered all kinds of wonderful information about the activities at home
and abroad of our World War I soldiers in Randolph County. He's included information published
in the newspapers about men who were drafted, volunteered, disqualified, and exempted. So before you
skip this book because you didn't have veterans, check the index anyway to see who else might have
been mentioned. In addition, there are news items about the impact of the war on the people of the area.
Arkansas Land Patents: Randolph County ISBN 1-56546-046-4, 82 pages, $14.00 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 Fulton, Independence, Izard, Lawrence, Randolph and Sharp Counties
