Cabin rights
cabin rights or tomahawk rights refers to the claiming of land in an early period in the settlement of the American Frontier, when pioneers would assert their claim to land by blazing trees around the desired boundary. These rights were customarily recognised by later settlers.
==Tomahawk rights==
Tomahawk rights were a means by which settlers during early period of frontier settlements in the United States would claim title to a tract of land. The process was to deaden a few trees near the head of a spring, and mark the bark of one or more of them with the initials or name of the person who made the claim.〔Albert Bushnell Hart (1896) "American History Told By Contemporaries", p. 388〕
Tomahawk rights gave the settler no legal title unless followed by occupation or a warrant and a patent secured from the land office. But the Tomahawk rights were quite generally recognized by the early settlers, and many of them were purchased cheaply by other settlers who did not want to enter into a controversy with the claimants who made them.〔
Building a cabin and raising a crop, however small, of grain of any kind, led to cabin rights, which were recognized not only by custom but also by law.〔Albigence Waldo Putnam -History of Middle Tennessee 1859 - Page 62 "Grants known as "cabin-rights" were in that day offered for sale, as land-scrip or warrants are in this. These were bestowed under an act of much liberality passed by the State of Virginia."〕 The laws of the colonies and states varied in their requirements of the settler. In Virginia the occupant was entitled to of land and to a preemption right to more adjoining, to be secured in either case by a land-office warrant, the basis of a later patent or grant from colonial or state authorities.
