you for your question about obtaining historical info for a parcel of

more info on family members.”</i></div><div><p><span style="font-weight:400"><i>What
details, if any, do you already know about Ulysses Scott at this point,

info? Do you know any biographical details about Scott’s life, like
where he lived and when?</i></span></p></div><div><p><span style="font-weight:400"><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></span></p></div><div><p><i><span style="font-weight:400">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.</span><span style="font-weight:400">
That page lists many kinds of historical records that might be useful

have taken place in Grant County. </span></i></p></div><div><p><span style="font-weight:400"><i>I’m
sorry that I wasn’t able to find more for you right off the bat! But if
