Marginal notes indicate the date the survey was received into the office as well as the date the grant was issued. Although each volume is indexed, the name listed is not necessarily that of the grantee;it may be that of the person in whose name the survey was returned or of any one of several assignees. A few surveys on grants issued as late as 1874 are entered.
