US Military District in OH

Craig Rhombs

I have an interest in land transfers in the US Military District in OH - specifically in areas that are now in Marion and Delaware Counties. I have found the following sources, and I wonder if other members can suggest additional ones.

• deed transactions from Delaware and Marion Counties here at familysearch.org
• general info about OH land: https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Ohio_Land_and_Property
• specific info about the Military District, including links to original grant records: https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/United_States_Military_District_Genealogy
• a reference held at the Ohio Gen. Soc.: Title: Ohio lands south of the Indian boundary line : records consisting of the Virginia Military District Land Owners prior to 1821; United States Military District land owners prior to 1821; Tax lists for years 1800, 1801, 1802 & 1803 for southern Ohio; history of Ross County boundary lines 1798-1850; with maps illustrations; history of the Virginia Military District; VMD survey numbers and owners (principally Ross County) / By Marie Taylor Clark.

This is a complicated area to me so I want to be sure that I look at all references

Take a look at the following website. It contains links to additional sources as well as an inventory of records, documents, and other resources relating to land transfers held by the Ohio HIstory Center.

Some Ohio counties were located in the Connecticut Western Reserve so check the Connecticut State Library at
