<<Unfortunately I had to pay for my farm, rather than having an ancestor suck up to politicians for a bribe.>>

It wasn't free, taxes you know. When my mother inherited the farm there were 2 farms, one she sold to pay the taxes.

G grandfather didn't suck up to any politicians for a bribe. He outfitted a platoon to go to war. The farm was from two presidents to repay him for his donation to the war effort.
