181211748MAY 29 1812. Washington: Way. 1812. 4pp bound in attractive modern quarter calf and marbled boards. Very Good. <br /> <br /> The Committee attempts to cure the uncertain status of land titles that resulted from the Spanish evacuation of the Mississippi Territory. "Many persons holding lands" under Spanish authority "who were either ignorant of the transfer of the country to the United States or of any legal defect in their titles neglected to obtain patents for their lands" although under Spanish law they had evidently perfected their titles. The Committee recommends respecting those titles especially as "the claims are generally for small tracts of land and in many instances the lands have been inhabited and cultivated for a number of years." <br /> AI 27326 2.

181714725Washington 1817. 7 1 blank pp. Disbound Very Good. The Convention had sought admission as a single State rather than division in two. But the Territory is so vast with so much uncultivated "wilderness" that the Committee worries whether "the whole Territory is capable of such a strong population as ever to render it a formidable State compared with the largest sized of the northern middle and western States." A chart is provided with data on the quantity of land sold in Mississippi Territory from the opening of the land offices on September 30 1816. FIRST EDITION. AI 42725 2. unknown

Very Good. <br /> <br /> An unsophisticated copy of this plea by landowners in the Yazoo area of Mississippi Territory for federal assistance in quieting titles to land that they purchased from Spain.

180023526Philadelphia 1800. 2 leaves printed on rectos only disbound. A couple of small tears to blank upper margin else Very Good. Burling et al owners of land in the Mississippi Territory claimed title to their property derived from Spanish land grants.
