You are correct as to the issuance of warrants, such as for land resulting from headrights.  The question, however, as I understood it, concerned grants. If that was not the question, JoAnne, and you were speaking of warrants such as those resulting from paying for transport of folks to the VA Colony, please restate the problem. Thanks. Paul

      It has been my impression the the first step in obtaining a patent was to 
      obtain a "warrant" which than allowed a survey to be made. 
      The person who obtained the warrant could then proceed with the process 
      or sell the warrant.
      After the survey a patent could be applied for.
      
      Am I missinformed?
