STEPHENS posted by Peggy M. Wilson on Wednesday, January 30, 2002: Found land grant in Phillips County ARK. Moses STEPHENS obtained a 160 acre land grant November 27, 1820. Reads as follows: #23320 there is granted untothe said Moses STEPHENS late a private Chotards or Ghotards Comp. of the first regiment of Infantry. I know very little about land grants. This was before the Civil War. Would this have been for service in the Revolution? My ancestor Moses STEPHENS was in Knox County KY census in 1810. But not the 1820.He was in Whitley County KY census in 1830. There's a twenty year gap here somewhere. Any help would be appreciated. pwilson
