Looking for "land transfer" document signed by Abraham Lincoln

Dear Ms. Sauers,

A colleague at the National Archives at Chicago offers this response:

"We would not have it here in Chicago. Does the requester know any names, or dates, involved in the actual land transfer? I wonder if the land transfer was between the feds and an individual or was it a land transfer between two private individuals with Lincoln as attorney which would make it a county record. Maybe they also could look at the GLO/BLM database to see if anything rings a bell. It can be searched by state and county, but there are numerous entries for De Witt County: https://glorecords.blm.gov/search/default.aspx?searchTabIndex=0&searchByTypeIndex=0

In lieu of that, my suggestion would be the Lincoln Legals Project/Papers of Abraham Lincoln in Springfield. They've collected quite a bit of information on Lincoln from county courthouses here in Illinois, NARA, and other repositories, and either will have a copy of the document in question or maybe have an idea on where to locate it. I would suspect that they, like us, would need further identifying information.  https://papersofabrahamlincoln.org/  "

Thank you for contacting History Hub. Best of luck in your endeavor!
