South of the Road Alabama South of the Old Federal Road |
This site is dedicated to the history and laws relating to land in that part of Alabama located south of the Old Federal Road. The site includes information on Federal land patent grants and county maps showing the locations of the grants, as well as nearby cemeteries. Grantee name indexes are provided for each county, as well as a combined index for all counties. In addition, the patent grants are displayed in geographical order in the Reconstructed Tract Books, which is helpful in identifying relatives and in-laws of ancestors. The site also includes historical maps and discussions of historical and land related topics. This is a continuing project, and the site will be updated from time to time with new additions. At the present time, only the five Alabama counties colored in the map above are included.
Because of the extensive immigration of residents of southern Alabama to West Florida, a link is connected to the companion series entitled WEST FLORIDA LAND & HISTORY.
