Alabama Land Patents Database: Blount County -
These land records represent the transfer of public lands to private
ownership. In most cases they represent purchase of the land by
individuals from the United States Government. Others are the result of
homesteading, Indian cessions or treaties, or bounty lands given to
military veterans.
This database of more than 225,000 records can be browsed and is based
on the original raw database of the General Land Office, a precursor to
the Bureau of Land Management.
The BLM is in the process of scanning and putting on- line all of these
records for you to see and print out for your own use.

.
The database this introduction is appended to may contain errors the BLM
has corrected as they double checked every record while scanning the
documents. Once you have found an entry of interest in this database, be
sure to double check it against the BLM web site.
The county designation in this database represents what county the land
is in today, not what county it was at the time the individual took
possession of the land, as county boundaries have changed many times
over the years.
