First Charles Purfeerst Property, Steele County, Minnesota, September 22, 1857 (top half of form) 200
First Charles Purfeerst Property, Steele County, Minnesota, September 22, 1857 (bottom of form) In the process of confirming his occupancy, the Minnesota Land Office certified that his house was “12 by 14 feet square and 10 feet high (with) a good roof and floor, containing 2 doors and 3 windows and was a comfortable house for a family to live in… and (had) 14 acres plowed, fenced and under cultivation”. This document, signed by “Charles Friedrich Ernst Purfeerst”, also indicated that Charles had declared his Intent to Naturalize (in Ohio) under the name of Ernst Purfeerst and Petitioned for Naturalization (a document not yet located) under the name of Charles Purfeerst. It also confirmed he was unmarried (contrary to that previously mentioned erroneous vessel manifest record) and was over the age of 21. Charles secured ownership of this 160 acres of land by use of a Military Bounty Warrant which had been issued to William P. Marshall of Carteret County, North Carolina. Marshall had received the Warrant by virtue of service in the North Carolina Militia under the command of Captain Jacob Heinz during the War of 1812. It is not known how, when or where Charles came into possession of this Bounty Warrant but probably did so in Ohio. The process of Military Bounty-land Warrants was such that in exchange for as little as 14 days military service the individual would be eligible for a document (Warrant) that could be exchanged for 160 acres of public-domain lands. This process started with the War of 1812 and was subsequently extended and modified various times over the years. These warrants could be assigned or sold and since Charles did not perform any military service he probably obtained his from a land agent who had previously purchased it from Mr. Marshall. The Military Bounty Act should not to be confused with the Homestead Act which came into affect in 1862. Charles did not “homestead” property in the true sense of the government term. Charles, as the first occupant of his Steele County lands, obtained a first-title deed (Patent) from the Federal Government. His land patent was recorded on September 22, 1857. The lands were recorded as the South Half of the NW Quarter Section and the North Half of the SW Quarter Section, Section 10, Township 108 North, Range 19 West, Merton Township, Steele County, Minnesota. 201
