Fullen, John W., P 3 of 4 of Sabine County Preemption Land Claim, Field Notes

This was the survey and field notes for John Fullen's application for a homestead of 160 acres of land in Sabine County, Texas. Pre-emption grants were made after statehood, and from 1866 to 1898 up to 160 acres could be claimed. Homesteaders were required to live on the land for three years and make improvements (such as building a barn) in order to qualify for a pre-emption grant of 160 acres.
