Virginia Military Lands, are a body of land lying between the Scioto and Little Miami rivers. The middle and northern parts are very valuable. The state of Virginia, from the indefinite terms of expression in its original charter of lands from a former king of England, claimed all the continent west of the Ohio River, and of the north and south breadth of Virginia. But finally, among several other compromises of conflicting claims which were made subsequently to the attainment of American independence Virginia agreed to relinquish all her claims to lands northwest of the Ohio River in favor of the general government, upon condition of all the land now described, being guaranteed to her. The state of Virginia then appropriated this body of land, to satisfy the claims of her state troops employed during the revolutionary war.
