PASSED FEBRUARY 25TH, 1831

SPEAKER OF THE SENATE
-SYMMES PURCHASE- FROM "THE OHIO LANDS, A SHORT HISTORY"
THOMAS E. FERGUSON, AUDITOR OF STATE
THE SYMMES PURCHASE, OFTEN CALLED THE MIAMI PURCHASE
IS LOCATED IN THE SOUTHWESTERN CORNER OF THE STATE.
IT BEGINS AT THE OHIO RIVER, AND RUNS APPROXIMATELY
24 MILES NORTHWARD, BETWEEN THE GREAT MIAMI AND LITTLE
MIAMI RIVERS. THE TOTAL LAND AREA IS 311,682 ACRES
INCLUDING RESERVES.
JOHN CLEVES SYMMES AND HIS ASSOCIATES ORIGINALLY
CONTRACTED FOR ONE MILLION ACRES FROM THE BOARD OF
TREASURY IN 1788. HOWEVER, IN 1792, CONGRESS MODIFIED
THIS CONTRACT, WITH SYMMES' CONSENT, BECAUSE CONGRESS
DID NOT WANT SYMMES' TRACT TO INTERFERE WITH THE BOUNDARY
LINE ESTABLISHED BY THE TREATY OF FORT HARMAR.
ON SEPTEMBER 13, 1794, PRESIDENT GEORGE WASHINGTON SIGNED
THE US PATENT (DEED) CONVEYING TO SYMMES 248,250 ACRES
PLUS A SURVEYING TOWNSHIP (23,040 ACRES), IN TRUST, FOR
AN ACADEMY. THE PATENT RESERVED: FORT WASHINGTON (15 ACRES)
ONE SQUARE MILE NEAR THE MOUTH OF THE GREAT MIAMI; AND IN
EACH TOWNSHIP THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS: SECTION 16 FOR SCHOOLS
SECTION 29 FOR RELIGION, SECTION 8, 11, AND 26 FOR CONGRESS
FUTURE USE. SYMMES PAID $70,455 IN PUBLIC SECURITIES FOR
105,683 ACRES AND USED MILITARY BOUNTY LAND WARRANTS
TOTALLING 95,250 ACRES, TO AQUIRE THE REMAINING 142,857
ACRES. BECAUSE CONGRESS ALLOWED ONE THIRD OF A DOLLAR OFF
FOR BAD LANDS AND INCIDENTAL CHARGES, SYMMES ACTUALLY
PAID TWO -THIRDS OF DOLLAR PER ACRE.
JOHN CLEVE SYMMES CONVEYED THE ENTIRE 3RD RANGE OF
TOWNSHIP, IN TRUST, TO JONATHAN DAYTON. SYMMES DID THIS
BECAUSE DAYTON HAD ACQUIRED MILITARY BOUNTY WARRANTS
FROM SOLDIERS WHO DESIRED TO SETTLE IN THE WESTERN
COUNTY, BUT COULD NOT AFFORD A CASH PAYMENT. THE
ENTIRE 3RD RANGE IS OFTEN CALLED THE MILITARY RANGE
IN THE RECORDS OF BUTLER AND WARREN COUNTIES.
SYMMES SOLD LAND BEYOND THE LANDS EVENTUALLY COVERED
BY HIS US PATENT. TECHNICALLY, THESE SETTLERS WERE SQUATTERS
ON UNSURVEYED FEDERAL LAND. TO CORRECT THIS SITUATION
CONGRESS PASSED RELIEF ACTS ON MARCH 2, 1799 AND MARCH
3, 1801, WHICH GAVE THESE SETTLERS THE FIRST RIGHT TO
BUY THIS LAND FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. THIS WAS THE
FIRST TIME THE RIGHT OF PRE-EMPTION WAS GRANTED BY
CONGRESS. LATER, IN 1841, CONGRESS PASSED A GENERAL PRE-
EMPTION ACT, WHICH LEAD TO FRAUD AND SETTLEMENT BEFORE
LAND COULD BE SURVEYED.
SYMMES PURCHASE WAS PRIVATELY SURVEYED. IT IS THE ONLY
ORIGINAL LAND SURVEYED IN THE UNITED STATES WHICH HAS
RANGES RUNNING SOUTH TO NORTH, FRACTIONAL RANGES, AND
TOWNSHIPS RUNNING WEST TO EAST. SECTION NUMBERING IS
ACCORDING TO THE LAND ORDINANCE OF MAY 20, 1785. THE
FEDERAL SURVEYS, ABOVE THE SYMMES PURCHASE, CONTINUED
SYMMES' UNIQUE AND UNORTHODOX NUMBERING OF RANGES AND
TOWNSHIPS SO THE "BETWEEN THE MIAMI RIVERS SURVEY"
WOULD BE CONSISTENT.
