Confederate Scrip

Brazos County Survey Book, no.1, pp.390-391. 29 July 1884. By virtue of Confederate scrip no. 63, Albert THOMPSON was granted land located on Cedar Creek northeast of Bryan.

Brazos County Deed Book X, pp.544-546. Dated General Land Office, 5 Sept.1881. A certificate that Mrs. Orpa WARREN was entitled to have surveyed 1280 acres of land. Filed for record in Brazos Co. 11 Aug. 1883. Orpa WARREN then sold her certificate to C.A. Lefevre for $50.

Brazos County Deed Book 1, p.358. Grant from the Texas governor to R.H. BARROW, assignee of Albert THOMPSON, land in Brazos Co. Dated 1885; filed for record on 7 July 1885.

In 1881 Texas passed a law granting land to some victims of the Civil War. Confederate veterans who had enlisted in Texas and who were permanently disabled during the war could receive land if they owned less than $1,000 in property. And, widows of Confederate soldiers who had enlisted in Texas and who died during the war could also receive land. In 1985 Thomas L. MILLER published a book listing these landgrants titled Texas Confederate Scrip Grantees. That book was based on records in Austin. Each commissioners court reviewed those applications before they were submitted, however, and Brazos Co. records reveal some discrepancies and also list some names which apparently do not appear in the files in Austin.
