This session will expand on the “Metes and Bounds with AI” presentation. It will include additional and more convoluted examples of metes and bounds properties, discuss platting out properties in federal land states involving sections and townships, and include an example of a metes and bounds description in a federal land state. This session presupposes that the listener has a basic understanding of land record terminology and knows how to locate land deed records as those topics are not a part of this presentation. Our first presentation on this topic can be downloaded here immediately: Metes and Bounds With AI–platting and analysis More Land Platting with AI Release date: 15 October 2025. Early order price: $18.99 Order includes audiovisual file and handout.
Augusta Newman received a warrant for military service in the War of 1812. Yet another man “gets his land.” Why? The reason is that Augusta Newman assigned his warrant over to that man–Thomas J. Stone. Stone likely paid Newman for the warrant. It was sometimes easier for veterans to simply sell their warrant than to move into new federal lands and “start over.” The image with this post is from the Bureau of Land management. The surrendered warrant (which has Augusta’s signature on the back where he assigns it to Stone) is at the National Archives.
