Welcome to the

We published two similar lists in previous issues. In CFA Newsletter #14, July 1999, page 27 we listed the Louisiana land. That article also has some explanation of the public land survey system. In CFA Quarterly #18, Summer 1999, there was a list of Wisconsin Land. All of this data is being taken from the General Land Office Automated Records Project CD's. Those who are online and are interested may visit their website and find the same data and also download graphic images of the actual land grant which sometimes contains useful information not on the CD. Their website is http://www.glorecords.blm.gov
The first land offices were set up in Arkansas Territory by 1820 at Little Rock and Polk Bayou. Over the years there were a total of about 13 different land offices with the greatest number being in 1850 when there were seven. They were at Batesville, Fayetteville, Helena, Johnson C.H., Little Rock and Washington. Our data base does not include them but these land records show a Chapman presence there as early as 1820.
With a map showing range and township lines one can plot the location of these land parcels. All of the ranges are measured from the fifth principal meridian. You can get a ball park fix on that meridian by drawing a line north and south along the western boundary of Poinsett and Cross Counties. Every thing east of that is range east and all west of that is range west. The data below lists the section first then the township and then the range. The base line for the Arkansas townships runs pretty much along a line drawn east and west on the boundary between Lee and Phillips County. It's just about a township south of the 35 parallel. Everything north of that will be a township north and all south of that will be a township south.
Note that in some cases there were several parcels involved in the grant and they are listed and described separately with the total acreage showing on only one parcel.
Similar lists are planned for the future. If you have questions or suggestions send them to CFA Data Central, POB 1586, Florissant, MO 63031-1586.
