Woodland Township Land
Records, 1857 - 1876
Township 118, Range 26
The following transcriptions from the land office
records gives the original owners of all the land
pre-empted and homesteaded in Wright County. This is the
roll of honor of those who dared the rigors of a pioneer
country and started the first developments. The list is
in the main accurate, though, through carelessness of
the land office registers and their clerks, the original
entries are often misspelled, and transcriptions of more
or less illegible handwriting since that date have
distorted some of the names in various ways. But
especial efforts have been made to insure accuracy in
this printed list, and the names of thousands of old
pioneers will be recognized.
