We recently discovered that copies of land patents issued to Haworths are available at the Bureau of Land Management. We found a total of 101 patents issued to Haworths in the state of Illinois. As an example, the first name on the Illinois list, is my great great grandfather, Beriah Haworth.
Enter the state and name, as we have done below, and the document is available in various computer formats. (you can also click on the "Haworth" link to see the Beriah Haworth patent.)
HAWORTH, BERIAH IL Vermilion 11/1/1839 Danville 5973 IL3650__.369
