You are bidding on an original historic 1782 Virginia Land Office Treasury Warrant for land in Fayette County Kentucky before it became a state in 1792. The petitioner for the 1931 acres of land in Fayette County was an early Kentucky Governor and Revolutionary war hero Christopher Greenup . The warran...t number is 14639 and the one signature I can make out on the back is T. Manhale noting the Warrant is entered but not yet surveyed. Although obviously this document is missing from the Register, the documents supporting it are available for view online at the Kentucky Land office. In the Land Office of the Kentucky Secretary of State it describes Virginia Treasury Warrants: " In May 1779 the Virginia General Assembly passed legislation thet expanded the land patenting process to include acquisitions by Treasury Warrants. From October 15, 1779 , the first date Treasury Warrants could be sold, to December 24 1783, the final date in Treasury Warrants Register II, over 23082 Treasury Warrants were purchased from the Virginia Land Office or authorized by special act or resolution...........patents issued prioir to Kentucky's statehood are found in " Virginia Patents in Kentucky ".
Christopher Greenup (c. 1750 – April 27, 1818) was an American politician who served as a U.S. Representative and the third Governor of Kentucky. Little is known about his early life; the first reliable records about him are documents recording his service in the Revolutionary War where he served as a lieutenant in the Continental Army and a colonel in the Virginia militia.After his service in the war, Greenup helped settle the trans-Appalachian regions of Virginia. He became involved in politics, and played an active role in three of the ten statehood conventions that secured the separation of Kentucky from Virginia in 1792. He became one of the state's first representatives, and served in the Kentucky General Assembly before being elected governor in a race where, due to his immense popularity, he ran unopposed.Greenup died April 27, 1818, and is buried in the Frankfort Cemetery.[19] Greenup County, Kentucky was named in his honor, as was its county seat of Greenup, Kentucky.
