Summary

The General Land Office issued this patent to CHARLES R STEELE on 12 February 1858, out of the Duncan land office. The land is T39N R10W Section 33 S½NE — 39N10W33NE on the Michigan Meridian (19) once the description is normalised. Its authority is ScripWarrant Act of 1850, and the row cites September 28, 1850 (9 Stat. 520). Accession 0924-363 has this one location row, and the source reports 80.0000 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 1858, 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.

PLSS connections

Open questions

  • Does the county deed index record a conveyance out of this patent?
  • Does any held record identify CHARLES R STEELE beyond this spelling?
