Public Domain Land Sales, Edgar Co., IL

	This file contains part of the list of original land owners in Edgar Co. These
	purchases were made from the U. S. Government General Land Office, the State 
	of Illinois, or the railroads which were given large chunks of land as an 
	enticement to build rail lines through the wilderness.

	The General Land Office records are also on-line and searchable at:

	http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/

	If the document is found at their web site, you can download a copy of the record and 
	the land was bought directly from the U. S. Government. This site does not yet have 
	all of the General Land Office records on line. For example, military warrants from 
	all military action after the War of 1812 are not on-line, nor are multiple purchases,
	nor swamp lands.

	You can order the warrant records directly from the National Archives and Records 
	Admisitration (NARA) You need to fill out a copy of Form 84 (Land Entry Papers -- 
	for Federal lands only). To get the form, send an e-mail message to 

	inquire@nara.gov

	In the body of the message, tell them you need 3 copies of Form 84 and be sure to
	give them your name and mailing address so they know where to snail the forms. You
	really only need one form, but it is good to have an extra in case you make a mistake
	or find another military warrant you want to order. Within minutes you will 
	receive an automated response and the forms will arrive within a week or so.

	Read the instructions and fill out the form with as much information as is
	available. If you include a credit card number, they will mail the papers
	as soon as they find them. Otherwise the process is several weeks longer. The 
	cost is $10.

	If the document is not found on the General Land Office web site, you can also
	order a copy of the original document from the State of Illinois. Ordinarily,
	the record does not give any additional information, unless the data below 
	says the purchaser came from another state. The original document *might* 
	mention an town or county.

	You can order any of the transactions listed below from the State of
	Illinois. The cost is $2 per land entry. However, you need to send $5 - 
	you get a voucher good for $3 on your next order. You can order a maximum 
	of 2 entries in one envelope.
