Virginia Land Grants (1782-1792)
The earliest Kentucky Land Grants were issued by the Commonwealth of Virginia based on warrants given in some cases as consideration for military service in the French and Indian War, and later the Revolution. With the establishment of statehood in Kentucky in 1792, all Virginia Grants relating to lands west of the Big Sandy River were transferred to the Commonwealth of Kentucky and placed in custody of the Register of the Land Office in the Kentucky State Capitol.

Old Kentucky Grants (1793-1856)
Acting under its own sovereign authority, Kentucky began the allocation of lands in 1793 under a plan similar to that used by mother state, Virginia. This group of grants, includes military, seminary, academic, treasury warrants and pre-emption grants.
Pre-emption Grants: Every settler who occupied a tract and raised a crop before Jan 1, 1778, was entitled to 400 acres at the price of $2.25 per 100 acres and was allowed the further right to pre-empt an additional 1,000 acres at $40.00 per 100 acres.
