Spanish land grant minerals lease/royalties

Someone recenlty told me about some land they have on a Spanish land grant. The land doesn't have a township range section on Sonris. They know how many acres they have but don't understand how the O&G companies will divide royalties. How does leasing/royalties work in these areas?

"Yes I am a pirate
200 years too late
the cannons don't thunder
there's nothing to plunder
Im an over 40 victim of fate"

Skip you ought to buy leases in that neck of the woods, it helps to know the family tree. All good Catholics so you have plenty of John, Mary, James and Joseph. How many ways can you spell Jose? There are only 5 to 10 last names with spellings changes through time ie Ybarbo, Ebarbo, Ebarb. They all seem to have had at least 10 or 12 children, one had 26. Very few went to a lawyer for probate. Deeds were done by hand shake or signed with one given name, no middle initial and some deeds used nick names, which they all seem to have. And the nick names are not common ie Manbaby, Chay and Sug.

OK, TD. You are now an official consultant on the book, movie, mini-series, etc. Compile your notes. We really do need to make those travel arrangements for Cannes. And begin a first draft of our acceptance speeches. Maybe KB can give us some talking points. You know the residuals may be almost as good as royalty interests.

Skip you can bet that there is a book to be done for the East bank of the Sabine River. You can trail the whole thing back down El Camino Real to New Orleans and put Jean Lafitte into the book or either travel down the Sabine River itself.

TD. Sounds good. I have spent some time on the Sabine. Particularly when the white bass were running above Toledo Bend. But not in some years. I went to college at NSU and spent many enjoyable hours hunting and fishing in the area of the east bank of the Sabine. My mother's side of the family is from the Leesville, Merryville and DeRidder area. I have a number of cousins from there down to Lake Charles. The New Orleans and Jean Lafitte connection would certainly be of interest.

Skip, there is one school of thought that puts Lafitte as becoming John Murell, the Rev. Bandit, head of the Murrell Gang that plied their trade along the road to New Orleans.

TD. I doubt the connection but I have heard of the infamous highwayman, John Murrell. But more so associated with the "No Man's Land" of the disputed LA./TX. border in NW. LA. between the time of the LA. Purchase and the signing of the treaty between the U.S. and the Caddo Indians in 1836. And shortly thereafter. I think Murrell was associated with the town of Monterrey in NW. Caddo. And so was Jean Lafitte. Most probably the source of the "school of thought" you mention.

No, this was a love letter carved into a rock in Red Dirt. I doubt the connection also but you never know.

It really could. Don't know how we could do the parts on the water, but we could get the dude doing the documentary to shoot the land stuff with his HD movie camera. I know a fellow that has a bunch of mules that we could all ride, with some restrictions. There is a part to play with an anglo woman, that turned up missing at the same time that Lafitte did from New Orleans, KB you can play this part of Betty Porter. Skip can be Pierre I will have to be Jean or I will take my ball and go home.
