In the record
Royce’s schedule records 11 cessions that lie at least partly in Missouri, from 1804 to 1832, under 8 treaties, agreements and acts. The peoples named most often are Osage, Meskwaki (Fox), Sauk (Sac), Shawnee, Iowa and 8 more.
The atlas records 1 broken treaty promise here, including Treaty of St. Louis 1804: cession signed by a delegation with no authority to sell.
Written from the records linked here; open any of them for its sources.
Everything here is linked at state level only. The atlas does not look up addresses or parcels, and a cession touching a state does not tell you whose land a particular place is.
