Walton County, Florida
Reconstructed Tract Book
RANGES 16W & 17W

Copyright (c) 1998 Duke Vickrey, Gulf Breeze, FL (all rights reserved)

This Tract Book was reconstructed by Duke Vickrey from the General Land Office Automated Records - Florida (Release 2).

NEIGHBORS - When searching for neighbors of an ancestor, keep in mind that a neighbor may be located in the same Section or in an adjacent Section. An adjacent Section may have a greatly different description. For example, within the same Township, Section 9 is contiguous with Sections 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 15, 16, and 17. And Sections which border another Township or Range, are contiguous with sections in that other Township or Range. For example, Section 4 of T2N R1E borders Sections 33 of T3N R1E and is contiguous with Sections 32 and 34 of that other Township. Reference to a map is useful when using a Tract Book.

PARTS OF SECTIONS - Grants were typically made in quadrants of a Section (e.g., NW quarter of Section 1), and frequently in quadrants of a quadrant (e.g., NW quarter of the NW quarter of Section 1). Where Sections were of an unusual shape or size or were to be divided into small parcels for a town, the part of the Section in the grant may be indicated by Lot number. Where no quadrants or lot numbers are shown, the grant was for the entire section.

MULTIPLE ENTRIES - A single grant frequently contained combinations of quadrants, and if difficult to express in one simple statement, are included in the Reconstructed Tract Book as multiple entries. If the multiple entries have the same patent certificate number and signature date, they are part of one grant. Multiple entries which form one grant may be spread over more than one Section.

SIGNATURE DATE - The signature date indicated in the Reconstructed Tract Book is the date on the patent certificate for the grant. Your ancestor would have applied for the grant some time in advance, and years in advance in the case of Homestead grants.
