<p class="MsoNormal"><i>Thank you for your question about obtaining historical info for a parcel of land in Grant County. You said that you would “like info on Mr. Ulysses Grant Scott who obtained this parcel from US General Land Office 19 Nov 1906. There was
a family dispute upon his death in 1908 & I'd like more info on family members.”</i><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p><i>What details, if any, do you already know about Ulysses Scott at this point, and what new information are you hoping to find in the historical land info? Do you know any biographical details about Scott’s life, like where he lived and when?</i><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p><i>I was able to find record of the land patent (ORLGAA 086671) in the Bureau of Land Management’s <a href="https://glorecords.blm.gov/search/default.aspx">General Land Office Records</a> website.</i><o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p><i>For information on Grant County records and where to request them, take a look at the <a href="https://sos.oregon.gov/archives/records/county/Pages/grant-inventory.aspx">Grant County Records Inventory</a> from the Oregon Secretary of State’s Office. That
page lists many kinds of historical records that might be useful for your research depending on which, if any, events in Scott's life may have taken place in Grant County.
</i><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p><i>I’m sorry that I wasn’t able to find more for you right off the bat! But if can provide us with more info about Scott’s life and whereabouts, we may be able to come up with more suggestions for you about where to look next.</i><o:p></o:p></p>
