Per Betty D.  -  The Virginia Land Law of 1779 addrssed land problems in KY County: Land claims by  
surveying companies were void. A Land Commission would decide who qualified for Certificates of 
Settlment and Preemption Warrants. Settlers who were in KY prior to 1 Jan 1778 qualified to purchase 
400 acre Certificates of Settlement if they had planted a crop or built a cabin. An adjacent 1000 acres 
could be purchased under a Preemption Warrant. Settlers in KY after 1 Jan 1778 could purchase 400 acre 
Preemption Warrants.   The Act was passed May 1781, and is given in Laws of Virginia, Chap. 18. (KY
was a part of VA until 1792.)
