17th C American Land Grants

Legg inn av Bruce Remick » 09 aug 2006 12:31:59

I am curious if British land grants to individuals in America in the 17th
century were limited to individuals who came from England, or might an immigrant
from any country be eligible. I have an ancestor whose country of origin is
unknown and who received such a grant of land in Maine about 1650. My
inclination is to presume this suggests he came from England, but I can't find
any information to tell if this association is valid. Are there others out
there whose 17th century ancestor came to America from a country other than
England and was awarded a grant of land from the British Crown?
