I understand that in the Northern Neck Land Grants the applicant would purchase a warrant, obtain a survey, and then if all went well was issued a deed. My question is this, was the deed signed after the fact? Did the applicant in reality find the land and live on it and then obtain the warrant, survey and deed?
