S.E. Capon Bridge Land Grants

This is the southeast (lower right) quarter of the U.S.G.S. topographical map showing land grants. We appreciate the cooperation of Mr. Galtjo Geertsema who so graciously supplied the original grant information from his extensive research. We ask your indulgence in any mistakes made while converting this information for web use.

The number following a name indicates acerage; lone three digit numbers indicate the index card number. A letter - hyphen - number entry (eg. H-167) is a N.N. Grant number.
Note: These are draft maps! Locations are not precise! Colonial surveys never fit correctly on a large map due to the inaccuracy of the instruments and the errors of the surveyors. We appreciate suggestions, corrections and kind comments!
