1846 President James Polk Official Land Grant 160 Acres in Kendall County Illinois. Issued to an Ira Owen of Kendall County, Illinois. Toda, Kendall County has a population of 131,869. And, after doing some research online depending on whether the land is farmland or development land, at today' prices it would likely be valued at between $2-0M to  $5.5m, not a bad return on investment for land that was granted to the owner free of charge.  Original.

Historical Notes

In 1833, during the term of President Andrew Jackson, Congress passed a law authorizing presidents to appoint a special secretary to sign land grants on his behalf. The grants typically include an official seal a the lower left corner.
