Presidential Land Grant for Montfort Wisconsin Lands Under Martin Van Buren
Click on an image to enlarge
Here is an original land grant given for land in Mineral Point, Wisconsin Territory. This was granting 160 acres in Wisconsin. It was granting Arthur Bronson of New Yo0rk, New York, 80 acres in Wisconsin. It is dated March 30th 1839 for an area for the sale in Mineral Point, Wisconsin. When I looked up the grant details on the Bureau of Land Management website they show the land as being near Montfort and Cobb, Wisconsin. Here is a link to the image LAND GRANT. The document measures 16 inches by 10 inches in size. It is beautiful and has the pre-printed paper with the blanks filled in using fine brown ink. In the lower left hand corner, it has the applied great seal. In the lower right hand corner, it has the secretarial signed signature of President Martin Van Buren. Van Buren was born on December 5th 1782 in Kinderhook, New York. He was a founder of the Democratic Party and served as New York's 9th Governor. His service continued by serving as the eighth Vice President and the tenth Secretary of State, both under President Andrew Jackson. Van Buren served as President for one term but continued in politics of the Democratic Party. He supported Lincoln even though he was a Democrat and he died in July 1862, at age 79. He is buried in his hometown of Kinderhook, New York. Some of these land grants were signed by the President but most were signed for him by a secretary like this one. The document is accompanied by a modern xerox image of President Van Buren. This is a great document from the Van Buren administration.
