These are tables of Federal Land Patents issued for properties in Dallas County, Missouri. The tables include lands that were part of Dallas County from 1841 to 1855 when a strip in the southern part of the county was given to Webster County, leaving the "panhandle" in the southwest corner.

Use the links in the table to the left to select a Township and Range. Each Twp/Rng table lists the Accession/Serial No., the Section, the Aliquot Parts, the Pantentee (owner), and the Issue Date for each patent in that Township and Range. Each Accession/Serial No. link will take you to the Bureau of Land Management, General Land Office Records, (BLM GLO) web page for that land patent.

You can find which Twp/Rng your ancestors' lands were in by looking them up in these surname indices:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W Y Z

These indices sort the patents by issue date, then by location:
1840s 1850s 1860s 1870s 1880s 1890s 1900s 1910s 1920s

The public domain data for the land patents is available at the BLM GLO website, which has an explanation of the Rectangular Survey System showing how Townships, Ranges and Sections are numbered, and how aliquot parts (legal subdivisions) are labeled within a section.
