Philip FALTER's Land Claim

 

Philip FALTER's Land Claim
This is a scan of the final award (dated 6 May 1835) of the land claim made by Philip FALTER on 22 Feb 1834. It has a couple of interesting characteristics. First, it says that he was from "Buffaloe", (sic) New York. That may sound confusing but he and his family had wintered in Buffalo during their immigration and movement to Ohio. It also appears to be signed "By the President, Andrew Jackson." In fact, it would have been more accurate if it had stated that it was signed "for" the President as it was actually signed by the Commissioner of the General Land Office.
