[or-roots] Oregon Land Grant records

[Glen and Bonnie Jones]

Well that could be a problem when the federal government turned over lands to the state corrupt state officials promptly sold those lands to the highest bidder and left the country with the funds it was only much later that the state got the lands back and our governor is trying to do that again sell state lands to the highest bidder,  if I can get around to go to the archives and I need to I will see if they have anything, I just found that there are Currier's buried in the cemetery at Turner.

It looks as though the Oregon land grant came under the first Morrill Act, so sometime in the 1860s.  This was after the DLCs, of course.

The question I had in reading your question, was "what land did Oregon 'reserve' for itself?" "What agreement did they have with the US Gov't upon admission as a state?  I found a reference at Oregon.gov:

The act of Congress admitting Oregon to the Union in 1859 granted nearly 3.4 million acres of the new state’s land "for the use of schools." The State Land Board was established to oversee these “school lands” and has been the trustee of the Common School Fund for more than 150 years.

Is this the land that was sold to support (now) OSU? You might start at

to see if you can identify the township/range information for those lands.

Are the records pertaining to the Oregon Land Grants for Oregon State College available on-line?  The Chewaucan Valley down including south of Valley Falls plus other areas in the county were part of this sale of those lands.

I am searching for a particular location and so far the only way I can find any information is to go back through the books in the Court House date wise, which is really slow going.

The Title Office records for Lake County used to be in Lakeview, but they were moved to Klamath Falls.  Too much money involved to do any research that way.

Thanks, Diane
