Register of exchange military warrants, nos. 1-34, 530, 6795-6799, from the Virginia Land Office, 1783-1831.

These records contain a register compiled from vouchers on file in the Land Office. Only the number of the exchange warrant and the number of the warrant for which it was issued in exchange are entered for numbers 1-29; the columns headed "to whom issued," "date," and "quantity" are blank. This record includes the register's endorsement, dated June 12, 1815, that no manuscripts other than the vouchers were located and no register found when he assumed the office. The entries for numbers 30-34, 530, and 6795-6799 were added later.
