    Bounty Land Application File of 2nd Lieutenant Addison Cochran, Arkansas Cavalry Regiment. 1846.

    Land records in Arkansas are a rich genealogical resource, dating back to its territorial period before statehood in 1836. As a public land state, Arkansas land was distributed by the federal government, with early land patents and homestead applications available through the Bureau of Land Management. These records document settlers who moved westward after the Louisiana Purchase and can include precise land descriptions, dates, and applicant names. County deed records help track property ownership and often list family members, especially when land was transferred through inheritance. Land records are particularly helpful when census records are sparse or missing.
