Regulation on Land Warrants and Powers of Attorney in 1816
A 1816 notice explains that contracts for land sales or encumbrances before patent issuance are void. It warns that powers of attorney cannot legitimize warrants and directs that warrants be deposited at the General Land Office with certificates issued to attorneys if needed. The notice requires notification to warrant holders and clarifies heirs must prove claims per regulations.
