HISTORICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES

On March 2, 1805, Thomas Jefferson signed into law an “Act for ascertaining and adjusting the

titles and claims to land within the Territory of Orleans and the district of Louisiana.” At this

time, Missouri belonged to the Louisiana Territory, purchased of the French in 1803. The act

stated that anyone “who on the first day of October, in the year one thousand eight hundred, were

resident with the territories ceded by the French Republic” and had obtained “any duly registered

warrant, or order of survey for lands lying within said territories…shall be confirmed in their

claims…” The same act allowed for two presidential appointees as land commissioners who,

along with the recorder of land titles, “be commissioners for the purpose of ascertaining within

their respective districts, the rights of persons claiming under any French or Spanish grant…”

The members of the (First) Board of Land Commissioners were as follows:

(1) James L. Donaldson, Recorder of Land Titles, replaced by Frederick Bates

(2) John B. C. Lucas

(3) Clement B. Penrose

Clerks to the board included Charles Gratiot and William Christy. The board met from 1805 until

1812. However, because of continued outcry by those rejected, a second board was formed in

1832.

Related Material

Closely related are the Papers of Original Claimants, 1785-1857, of the Second Board of Land

Commissioners. Minutes (and printed indexes) of both boards are also available. Many of the

original records were copied into record books (Volumes A-G, with E missing). The Registre

d’Arpentage includes copies of plats of some early claims. Related records may also be found at

the Land Records Repository of the Department of Natural Resources in Rolla.

PAPERS OF ORIGINAL CLAIMANTS, 1777-1851

Arrangement: Alphabetical by surname of primary claimant

Scope and Content The demarcation between the papers in this series and those of the 2nd Board is not always clear,

as those rejected by the 1st Board are often filed in the 2nd. Basically, if it does not clearly belong

in the 2nd Board, it is found here, including some claims that might have been the subject of later

litigation, which accounts for their late date. A small number of depositions taken before the 2nd

Board but not recorded in their minutes or reports appear to be an extension of already confirmed

grants (normally requesting 640 acres as their settlement right) and may have been denied en

masse. Occasionally, papers generated by the board—such as translations and certificates of

confirmation—are found here, even though they are not strictly papers submitted by the

claimants.

Many records are in French or Spanish. The measurement used for most land records is in

French arpents. Most of the reports use the anglicized version of given names, although there are

some exceptions. The choice may have more to do with the clerk or government in power than

with the nationality of the claimant. For instance, James MacKay, who was Scottish, is referred

to as both Santiago (Spanish) and Jacques (French).

The American State Papers (ASP) Vol. 2 (pp. 463 – 729) and Vol. 3 (pp. 313-370) give brief

details on those persons granted certificates and those rejected. For convenience, the finding aid

lists the appropriate pages where found. If the page number is in (parentheses) then it could not

be determined if the citation directly relates to the land or documents in question.

T=translation available in folder

(#) is an identifying number placed on the document (probably by the WPA)

(OVERSIZE) is in flat box housing

The records in this series include wrappers, plats of survey, deeds, receipts, concessions,

depositions, and affidavits.

Wrappers (small pieces of paper used to wrap around the original bundle) generally give the

name of the original claimant, arpents or acres claimed, decision number, and dated filed with

the board. Occasionally a notation will also give its disposition, such as “laid over for decision”

or “rejected.” Some note that there are “no papers.”

Plats of surveys are in English, Spanish, and French. Technically, they are plats (maps) and

transcripts of surveys, as they not only show graphically where the land is (plat) but also give the

description (transcript) in metes and bounds (e.g., 10 poles from a white oak tree). In general, if a

plat of survey is marked “received of record” by Antoine Soulard, it is not found in the Registre

d’Arpentage, which has a notation in it by Soulard stating that, due to the increased number of

surveys submitted, those he was unable to record before turning over his records to the new

surveyor general would be noted as “received of record.” Many of these surveys are dated in

February of 1806. If, on the other hand, it is certified as recorded by Soulard, the plat of survey

should have a marking on the plat, usually beginning “A sentado libro” and giving the book

number (A, B, C, D, etc), page number, and survey number in the Registre d’Arpentage. A list of

surveys greater than 300 arpents found in the Registre d’Arpentage can be found in ASP 8:848–

867. Copies of the plats of survey are also usually found in the Record Books (RG 951) A-G

(missing E).

Deeds convey property from one party to another. For a small number, there are documents,

particularly deeds of conveyance in French that are not found in ASP in full (merely called deeds

of conveyance or transfers). Presumably these deeds are also recorded in county offices and are

sometimes themselves copies made from county records. For early New Madrid deeds, these

copies may be all that now exist.

Receipts for original papers are found in several folders, meaning the original claimant or their

legal representative had retrieved the papers from the board. In only a few occasions were these

papers returned. If an attorney or agent obtained the original papers, it is possible that the papers

may still exist in court or Congressional records, as that was the next step in the process if one

had still been rejected at the close of the board.

Concessions are actually two documents, the petition of the claimant to the Spanish or French

government, and the concession by the government official, most often Lt. Gov. Zenon Trudeau

or Carlos Dehault Delassus. The date of the document given here is the concession date and not

the petition date. Sometimes the petition and concession are in different languages (e.g., petition

in French and concession in Spanish) but all are in one of the two languages unless it is a

translated copy. Some concessions also include a recommendation from a lower level

government official. In comparison to surveys and depositions, the number of original

concessions is few, perhaps because the claimants and their attorneys were anxious to have these

returned. Most of the concessions from the 2nd Board are translated in ASP.

Depositions are almost always originals, with the signatures (or marks) of those deposing

certified by one or more of the Board. In ASP, both testimony and depositions are given and the

words are used interchangeably. For the purposes of this finding aid, depositions are

distinguished solely by the signature or mark of the deposer, which is always given in CAPITAL

letters in the ASP. Testimony, on the other hand, is found in the minute books (Vols. 6 and 7) of

the Board and should be referred to in the ASP by volume and page number.

Affidavits, while similar to depositions, appear to have been given in front of some other official,

often a notary or county clerk, rather than before the Board. They are relatively few in number.
