Once you find the page the individual may be listed on, go to the designated page.  You will notice that the names are not in strict alphabetical order.  You will need to look through the entire column.  They are recorded somewhat in chronological order.  However, it is not unusual in the early indexes to find land entries for the 1820s mixed in with the 1850s.
