I have a deed that was recorded in 1878 in Amherst County . It is labeled as homestead and the Clerk's Office is said to recorded this homestead, with the certificate of acknowledgement. Can someone explain to me how he obtained a
homestead? I thought Virginia was land grants? When did homesteading start and end? Thank you! Barbara in Idaho
