Clearance 1838 Land Office Grant under the Martin Van Buren Administration Signed by Him or His SonAfter the Trail of Tears in 1831 Indian Lands were being granted at $ 1 per share as long as persons took at least over 80 acres. This land grant was signed in 1839 in May for just over 80 acres by Martin Van Buren Himself or his son Martin JR . From 1937-1941 Martin Van Buren was President . He appointed his son Abraham as his secretary for the entire time but also had his son Martin Jr as a personal aide, secretary and editor of his father’s papers sign land grant documents . Huge amounts of land was granted and he delegated his sons to sign many grants , however he did sign some as well as his son Martin Jr. Martin J died at a young age while with his father in 1855 in France from tuberculosis . At first I believed this was definitely Martin Van Buren’s himself as it looks almost identical . Keep in mind many other lines do have Martin Van Buren’s name signed but by other people in his administration . The details are excellent in this document , and a lot of research went into this to determine this is indeed real and signed either by the President himself or his son as a Jr. appears to be at the end of the main line at the bottom left after BY with Martin Van Buren himself signed a few and it looks so close as his Ms are V’s just as this is so values are shown on historyforsale.com ABRAHAM VAN BUREN - LAND GRANT SIGNED 03/20/1837 - DOCUMENT 17141 Find A Grave - Martin Van Buren, JR PRESIDENT MARTIN VAN BUREN - AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED 10/22/1853 - DOCUMENT 5125 It shows Abraham’s signature at $3900 and Martin Van Buren’s signature at $7900-9900 value and if you do close-ups you can see they match . I don’t know value for Martin Van Buren’s Jr signature but there are fewer of these than Abraham’s maybe only a couple but this makes it more valuable than Abraham’s . My feeling is the President brought many home with him on visits to have someone else sign besides Abraham which would be his son. It still may be his then the value is well known at almost 10,000. It was to a landowner in Alabama and found in a book dated 1840 so with the presidential seal this is undoubtedly a authentic document that has major historical significance . This land was taken from the Creek Indians, and also I have tons of written proof of all I say above with documents . One look at this document seals any doubts a person could have . It has the presidential seal , and all writing can be read . It’s yours at a fraction of the value Price:
