The database
documents the first owner of property, the patentee, after the initial
survey. Once the patent was issued, the land became private property
and was then sold with a deed. The Alabama townships, the six-mile-square
land blocks which were the original divisions of land from the federal
land grants, were then divided into 36 one-mile squares. The section
is the one-mile-square portion (approximately 640 acres) of a township.
That was also generally divided into 36 equal squares (each of which
might be divided another 36 times).
