NOTE FROM JOY Moore:
This land document has marked across the center of it "CANCELLED
Tract selected for seminary purposes previous to location of this
floating Pre-Claim  
Money ordered to be refunded  - see
Letter to R. of R.  7 April 1838  "

These two men had another certificate issued to them  It is certificate
No 21657 dated second of August 1837  

One of the things I find interesting about this certificate is the fact
that the land was preempted for a seminary and I found in Arcadia a
seminary for ladies and men.
Another is the signature of the Presidents.
Secretary  A Van Buren     That could only be Abigal Van Buren, his
wife.  Did the President of the United States have his wife serving as his
secretary wife in a time when only men held these positions?
