Several Genuine Signatures of Nation's Seventh
President in Possession of Wayne Clore.
By Dick Haislet
Many persons read within the last two weeks an article in a nationalweekly, a story about the famous Hermitage located 12 miles out ofNashville, Tenn., and its equally famous owner, the hard fightingguntoting hero of New Orleans and the seventh presiden of the UnitedStates.
This week President Andrew Jackson came to light in Lucas county.  Theother evening Wayne Clore, who owns a farm six miles north of Lucasbrought several old land patents into the office of The CharitonNewspapers.
Written on sheep skin parchment, these five old land patents ranged inages from 126 years to 116 years old, three bearing Jackson's signature.
The titles themselves were taken out by Clore's great grandfather on landabout 45 miles north of Indianapolis, Ind.  Clore who just recently wassent the titles, suspects there might be quite a few more, as the earlierClore family at one time owned some 3,000 acres in that vicinity.
The earliest of the five land patents is dated Feb. 6, 1824, and in oneplace bears what appears to be President James Monroe's signature.
However, where the final signature should be afixed, time seems to haveobliterated the name.  Clore says he assumes it is legal, as the titlehas the seal of the United States, and is counter signed by theCommissioner of General Land office.
Before the Homestead Act, all such land, as purchased by Clore'sancestors, had to be negotiated for at public auction, with the minimumprice set by the U. S. Government at two dollars an acre.
These were public land ceded to the Government, and were originally usedto retire Federal war debts; or were given as a bonus to veterans of theRevolutionary War or their families.  As claims for public landdecreased, the government found itself with more and more land, anddecided (with a series of bills) on the public auction method of itsdisposal.
The states in which public land lay, by law could not tax it, orinterfere with its disposal by the United States.
Clore's great grandfather, Israel, farmed in Boone county, Ky., and it'svery probable that he never saw his Indiana land holdings.  Clorebelieves he either purchased the land for his children or more possibly,for land speculation which was quite popular at that time.
Old Israel Clore seems to have passed down some of his shrewdness to hissons, as to the value of land because Clore's grandfather, Howard, madeland purchased in the present day Lucas county area.  Unlike Israel,grandfather Clore made the trip to Iowa from Indiana on horseback himselfand personally picked out his land before buying.  This was about 1850.
Land purchased in this area amounted to about 1,000 acres, but whenClore's father and uncles came out from Indiana to claim it they foundquite a good deal of it had gone to squatters by default, and so theydivided up the remaining land themselves.  The Wayne L. Clore farm todayis 440 acres.
So, if you ever run across an old land patent don't dismiss it as aninteresting piece of paper because it might contain history that concernsyou.
