Original grantee
J Sherman secured a patent in the same period that defined most of Houston County's title fabric, the headright, bounty, and donation grants that the Republic and State of Texas issued through the 1840s and 1850s. The GLO patent file remains the controlling root document for any chain of title that runs through J Sherman.
