These pages contain House document #1340 from the 24th Congress: Final Reports of the Board of Commissioners on Private Land Claims in Missouri, under the Act of July 9, 1832. The testimony herein proving ownership of the lands in present day Missouri. "Office of the Recorder of Land Titles, St. Louis, Missouri, September 30, 1835. To Hon. Ethan Allen Brown, Commissioner of the General Land Office: "Sir: The recorder and commissioners appointed under the act of Congress entitled 'An act for the final adjustment of private land claims in Missouri,' approved July 9, 1832, and the act supplementary thereto, approved March 2, 1833, beg leave to lay before you the result of their proceedings since the last report. "In prosecuting the examination of the claims, the commissioners have endeavored to confine themselves strictly to the duties prescribed by the laws under which they acted, which require of them 'to examine all the unconfirmed claims to land in that State (Missouri), heretofore filed in the office of the said recorder, according to law, founded upon any incomplete grant, concession, warrant, or order of survey, issued by the authority of France or Spain, prior to the tenth day of March, one thousand eight hundred and four; and to class the same so as to show, first, what claims, and their opinion, would in fact have been confirmed, according to the laws, usages, and customs of the Spanish government, and the practice of the Spanish authorities under them, at New Orleans, if the government under which said claims originated and continued in Missouri; and, secondly, what claims in their opinion are destitute of merit, in law or equity, under such laws, usages, customs, and practice of the Spanish authorities aforesaid.'" A full-name and place index adds to the value of this work.
