Original grantee
G A Boss secured a patent in the same period that defined most of Rains 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 indexes it as Nacogdoches Bounty file 000082. with the patent issued to Durst, Joseph. Title work on the G A Boss acreage stitches every later instrument back to the GLO patent on file.
