Fullen, John W., P 2 of 4 of Sabine County Preemption Application

This was John Fullen's application for a homestead of 160 acres of land in Sabine County, Texas. In this application he, and two witnesses, swore he was a bona fide settler on vacant public land, and the head of a family. 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.
