1821 · Financial Relief for Public Land
A United States law to provide financial relief for the purchasers of Public Lands. It permitted the earlier buyers, that couldn't pay completely for the land, to return the land back to the government. This granted them a credit towards the debt they had on land. Congress, also, extended credit to buyer for eight more years. Still while being in economic panic and the shortage of currency made by citizens, the government hoped that with the time extension, the economy would improve.
Name Meaning
English (Yorkshire and Lancashire): perhaps from an Old French personal name Daguet, a pet form of ancient Germanic Dago. Alternatively, from Old French daguet, a diminutive of dague ‘dagger’, for one who wore or threatened to use a dagger. Compare Dagg and Dagger .
History: John Daggett came from England to Watertown, MA, in 1630, and moved to Rehoboth, MA, in 1646. He was one of the original proprietors of Martha's Vineyard in 1642 and by 1651 had settled there permanently.
