Ohio's Apology Tract When Congress Cleaned Up America's First Big Land Scam #ohiohistory #genealogy

Welcome to Brick Walls & Buckeyes.

The French Grant was 24,000 acres in Scioto County, Ohio, granted by Congress in 1795 to compensate French immigrants defrauded by the Scioto Land Company. After being stranded in the Ohio wilderness, these settlers founded Gallipolis ("City of the Gauls"). If your family has French immigrant ancestors arriving in Ohio in the 1790s, the French Grant records may be the missing link.
