virginia extended its jurisdiction over all of kentucky and created a western county. 1779, the virginia house of delegates passed a law that set out the terms by which people could claim land in this new western county. it was really complicated. the first thing about the virginia land ordinance of 1779 is a gay priority to settlers instead of speculators. gave was an impulse -- it priority to settlers instead of speculators. people whoority to settled the land. they had to follow in order to actually gain title. process was multi-staged. the first thing you had to do -- first of all you had to go to kentucky to have a legitimate claim. it gave priority to settlers. once you had gone to kentucky, the next thing you have to do is richmond in order to pay the fees that would allow you to claim the lands that you had already visited. you would go to the treasurer's fee,e in richmond to pay a get a receipt, then to the auditors office -- sorry, that is where you would get the treasurer's receipt. that he would go to the land office where you would get a land warrant. with a land warrant in
