Governor Glasscock Frames West Virginia Claim Message
A special message to the legislature explains Senator Chilton’s US Senate bill of 1912 to grant jurisdiction to the Court of Claims over claims by Virginians against the federal government. It recalls Virginia’s 1784 deed granting land for the Northwest Territory and the condition that unallocated lands revert to the Union, with the claim tied to this cession clause.

Virginia Claim on Northwest Territory Lands Debated
The speaker argues Virginia’s rights to proceeds from Northwest Territory lands diverted from the federal trust. He estimates up to 80 million dollars owed to Virginia and cites a 1910 Virginia resolution urging action through the state delegation in Congress to safeguard Virginia’s rights. West Virginia’s share depends on apportionment by population or acreage.
