The Northwest Territory or as it is sometimes called the “Territory North of the River Ohio” covered a number of states in the beginning. Since the boundaries of Virginia were from the Atlantic to the Mississippi and North Carolina/Tennessee north to Canada these states were later developed from the territory. These records were reported to the United State House of Representatives on July 31, 1789 and comprise a listing of those soldiers given land in the Northwest Territory for service to the State of Virginia in keeping the peace with the Indians of that region.

A lot in Post Vincennes, of twenty-five toises, one side to the church lands, another to Andrez Montplesir, and two others to streets. ...etc...”
