Federal Period
1810 Congressional Government Ohio Land-Office Form "An Act, to prevent settlements being made on lands ceded to the United States..."
May 23, 1810-Dated Federal Period, Partly-Printed Congressional Act Government Ohio Land-Office Form, at Vincennes, Very Fine.
This Partly-Printed typeset Land-Office Form measures about 4" x 8", 1 page. Issued by John Badollet, register of the Land-Office at Vincennes, (IN) to William Branham. "In conformity with the provision of the act of Congress, entitled: "An act, to prevent settlements being made on lands ceded to the United States, until authorized by law," permission is hereby given to William Branham now settled on a certain tract of land belonging to the United States... to remain thereon as tenant at will, on the condition of doing no waste or damage on the lands..." Apparently, the U.S. government sought to prevent squatters from establishing any rights to the newly acquired lands in the Ohio River Valley. This is the first such form we've ever seen or offered. Number 53, few ever issued and no doubt extremely rare.
In 1808 President Jefferson made [Benjamin Parke] a Territorial Judge, and he held that position until Indiana became a state. A third member was John Badollet, a Swiss friend of Albert Gallatin. The tradition is that the two wanted to come to America, but had only enough money between them for one fare. They drew lots and it fell to Gallatin to come first. He prospered in the new world, and sent back money to help Badollet over. As a member of Jefferson's cabinet, Gallatin secured for him the position of Register of the Land Office at Vincennes, which opened January 1, 1805. Harrison made him Chancellor of the Territorial Court of Chancery, but he resigned this position after a few months."
The first Land-Office in Indiana opened in 1807 at Vincennes. It sold lands in all or part of the present day counties of Clay, Crawford, Dubois, Daviess, Gibson, Greene, Harrison, Knox, Lawrence, Martin, Monroe, Orange, Owen, Parke, Perry, Pike, Posey, Putnam, Spencer, Sullivan, Vanderburgh, Vermillion, Vigo and Warrick. Sales were discontinued in 1861; unsold lands were attached to the Indianapolis Land Office
