Cecil, E.W.
Notebook of Missouri military bounty lands, no date. 2 items
Notebook (242 pages) comprises a transcript of original bounty land warrants for War of
1812 veterans, likely compiled before 1866 by E.W. Cecil of Baltimore, Maryland, possibly for
the use of a real estate firm in tracing titles. The bulk of the notebook (pages 1-106) contains a
list that is arranged alphabetically by the name of the veteran to whom the warrant was issued.
These entries contain name, date of location, number of warrant, corps or regiment, and legal
description of land (part of section, section, township, range, and county). The bounty lands are
located in Carroll, Chariton, Clinton, Linn, Livingston, Macon, and Randolph Counties,
Missouri. The notebook also contains a list of regiments with place of enlistment (page 108) and
a section titled “Descriptive List and Places and Persons to Whom Patents Were Delivered”
(pages 111-138). The entries in this latter list often include the individual’s place of birth, age,
occupation, and physical description, and sometimes additional information. Filed with the
notebook is a page of typescript notes describing the notebook, which were written by
manuscript dealer Morris H. Briggs, from whom the Missouri Historical Society purchased the
notebook in 1948. (The notebook contains 242 pages; however, facing pages are paginated with
the same number.)
