Virginia Treasury Warrants
In May 1779 the Virginia General Assembly passed legislation that expanded the land patenting process to include acquisitions by Treasury Warrants. From October 15, 1779, the first date Treasury Warrants could be sold, to December 24, 1783, the final date in “Treasury Warrants Register II”, over 23082 Treasury Warrants were purchased from the Virginia Land Office or authorized by the Virginia General Assembly by special Act or Resolution. (For complete text of Land Law B, Chapter XIII, see “Land Office Reference Library, Legislation, Virginia & Old Kentucky Patents” on this website.)
This database includes information for all entries in the Virginia Treasury Warrants Registers, Vols. I & II, as copied by Edmund Thomas, Register of the Kentucky Land Office, and certified by William Price, Register of the Virginia Land Office. Patents authorized by these Warrants have been identified, entered, and scanned by the Office of the Kentucky Secretary of State. Patent Series include “Virginia Patents in Kentucky”, i.e. patents issued prior to Kentucky’s statehood in 1792, and “Old Kentucky Patents”.
