Oregon land records during the period, 1845 to 1849, were filed with the provisional recorder. These papers are now in the [http://arcweb.sos.state.or.us/ Oregon State Archives]. The record contains a description of the land claimed, and may name adjoining land holders. Abstracts of the records are in ''Oregon Provisional Land Claims—Volumes I–VIII'' (Portland: Genealogical Forum of Oregon, 1987). | |||
Individuals who settled in the Oregon Territory before December 1, 1855 were eligible to receive donation land claims. The earlier, provisional claims were voided. The size of the piece of land was dependent upon the date of the arrival and the marital status of the claimant. The applications for these free lands may provide birth, marriage, citizenship, migration, or other valuable information. | Individuals who settled in the Oregon Territory before December 1, 1855 were eligible to receive donation land claims.
