Summary:
This series contains mostly warrants of survey but includes also a few unrelated legal documents. Colonial governors ordered
surveys of all lands for which settlers applied for purchase. The warrants are the governor's orders to the surveyor general
to carry out the survey. They provide name of governor; name of surveyor general; for whom land is to be surveyed; acreage
and location of land; and date of warrant. The records suffered some burn damage in the 1911 State Capitol fire.
