The Bureau of Land Management (the original BLM) maintains records of land grants and purchases. These can be used to piece together family history. Here is a document I found today. A land patent from 1882 with William Micager McGee and his brother Solon H McGee (our Great Grand father). William was 14 years older than Solon so its interesting they went in together on this land. I think they moved to Oklahoma and then to New Mexico also.
