Summary

The General Land Office issued this patent to AUGUST ANCE on 5 December 1907, out of the Marquette land office. The land is T35N R13W Section 32 SW — 35N13W32SW on the Michigan Meridian (19) once the description is normalised. Its authority is Homestead EntryOriginal, and the row cites May 20, 1862 (12 Stat. 392). Accession 0696-055 has this one location row, and the source reports 160.0000 acres for it.

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 1907, 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.

Open questions

  • Does the county deed index record a conveyance out of this patent?
  • Does any held record identify AUGUST ANCE beyond this spelling?
