Northern Neck Plats and Certificates, 1786-1874.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122624848

These records are original plats and accompanying papers relative to land grants made by the commonwealth after 1786 for land in the Northern Neck. Since there was a time lag between the issuance of the first document, the warrant, and the final one, the grant, some of the documents predate 1786. Each folder is labeled with the name of the grantee, the names of all persons who owned the warrant or survey, the county in which the land was situated when the grant was issued, the date of the survey and warrant, the number of acres in the grant, and the number of items in the folder.
