Summary

The General Land Office issued this patent to WILLIAM E BROWN on 14 September 1859, out of the Duncan land office. The land is T37N R10W Section 22 LOT 1 — 37N10W22 on the Michigan Meridian (19) once the description is normalised. Its authority is ScripWarrant Act of 1855, and the row cites March 3, 1855 (10 Stat. 701). Accession 0122-234 covers two location rows. They share the 75.4000 acres the source reports.

Ownership evidence and limits

A patent records the moment the United States parted with the land, and stops there. Whatever happened afterwards sits in the county deed index rather than here. The grantee is the spelling a clerk wrote in 1859, and it stays a spelling until a separate identity record carries the link to a person or an organisation. A shared surname is not that record.

Do not carry the acreage onto this description either: 75.4000 acres is the whole patent, spread across two location rows.

PLSS connections

Open questions

  • Does the county deed index record a conveyance out of this patent?
  • Does any held record identify WILLIAM E BROWN beyond this spelling?
  • Can a tract book or a field note place this description inside a quarter-quarter rather than the whole section?
