Land purchase certificate update

Due to some questions about the US Land Office Purchase certificates, I should explain that there are a total of 9 certificates which is why I didn't include images of these documents. However, to satisfy the curious I am posting one of Jacob's and one of Solomon's so that you have evidence that the Fishers/Fischers were indeed pioneer families in Illinois shortly after it became a state. These earliest purchase documents are from 1845.



I hope you will follow the blog and add your comments and questions.

    The current "anti" hysteria reminded me of earlier times of hysteria directed against immigrants, such as the Germans in 1917. Here is a page of information about the terrible things that were done in the name of patriotism, persecuting innocent people, refusing to hire them, banning classical music of German composers and burning German books. http://www.authentichistory.com/1914-1920/2-homefront/4-hysteria/
