- ↑ The lands north-west of the river Ohio, between the rivers Scioto and Little Miami, lying west of Ludlow’s line, east of Roberts’ line, and south of the Indian boundary, reserved by Virginia, in her deed of cession to the United States, of March, 1784, for the satisfaction of the military bounties Virginia had promised, were not, prior to 1810, by any legislative acts of the government of the United States, withdrawn from appropriation under and by virtue of Virginia military land warrants. A patent issued on the 12th October, 1812, founded upon a military warrant, for land within the reserved lands, is valid against a claimant of the same land holding under a sale made by the United States.
