Original grantee
Filed in the GLO under the standard headright/bounty/donation framework, the E Chaffin survey is one of thousands of Anderson County patents that capture the moment Texas land policy turned settlement and service into title. The GLO indexes it as Houston 3rd file 000166. with the patent issued to Chaffin, Eli (Heirs). Title work on the E Chaffin acreage stitches every later instrument back to the GLO patent on file.
