The availability of land attracted many immigrants and encouraged settlement in the colonies. Land ownership was recorded in New England towns from the first settlement of the town. Land records are primarily used to learn where people lived and when they lived there. The records often reveal other information, such as the name of a spouse, heir, other relatives, or neighbors. You may learn where a person lived previously, his occupation, if he had served in the military and other clues. Sale of the land may show when he left, and may mention his new destination. | The availability of land attracted many immigrants and encouraged settlement in the colonies.
